Help needed! Lacquer Emergency!!

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. :blub:

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. :SAD:

Thanks to anyone that can help. :king:

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?

No mate I tried the oven trick and it didn't work. Leave it for a couple of days and flat it down the re laquer
