quarter panel reshoot
Hello,
I painted my 68 last sunday, it went good however i got a bad run and water drop spot on the drivers quarter panel, the run was in the basecoat, i want to hit those bad spots with some base and re clear the whole panel, i think thats the best way to go from what ive read, however what grit should i wetsand the panel to for the base and clear to stick good and not show a ton of scratches?
Thanks

did you clear the panel after the base coat run?
If so
scuff the entire panel with a white scuff pad
sand your run down with a block and 600 / 800
re base it
re clear it

the color is black, the run was in the base. and i did clear the panel.
would wet sanding the whole panel with 600, leveling the run, hit with 800 wet, spot base the bad spots and clear whole panel be fine?

solid black should be fine
fade / blend / step your color out from the run
