Default Paint Overspray

So I Stripped My 72 Coupe To The Glass, Made Necessary Repairs And Primed And Sanded, Now I Am Painting. Yesterday I Sprayed Inside Of Door Jams, Inside Of Hood, And Inside T-top Areas With The Ontario Orange Dupont Chromabase And Chromaclear And Now I Have Just A Little Overspray On The Outside Of The Car Around The Doors, Hood And T-top Area About 2" Or A Little More, Do I Just Wet Sand That Overspray Down A Little And Put More Base And Clear Over It When I Get The Doors, Hood, And T=tops Back On? Or Is There Something More I Need To Do?

If the rest of the car is still in primer, then yes just sand it off. If the car has been painted and this is over the BC/CC then you might be able to buff it out with a cutting pad / compound.

Its Not Over The Paint Just Around The Edges Of The Door Opening And Hood Opening On The Primer, I Guess I Will Roll It Out Of My Make Shift Paint Booth, Wet Sand That Area As Well As A Quick Scuff Over The Whole Car And Roll It Back In And Shoot The Whole Thing.
