Just been applying some clear to a model (About 2 hours ago) and as I was finishing, a cloth fell onto the leading edge of the bonnet I was spraying. It's left some bubbles and marks. What I want to know is do I follow the halfords instructions and leave it for 2 weeks or could I 1500 grit it now? Will two hours be good enough for it to harden? It was the second coat that it happened. Thanks to anyone that can help.

IF you sanded and resprayed it now would It not go a bit cloudy? Then again mate if it's that bad it's probably worth a shot?? |

I personally would 1500 it down, reapply a light coat or 2 of paint and then relacquer. |

Cheers fellas. I think I'll leave it a day or two, then flat it back. Would putting it in a low heat oven speed things up a bit? |
