Stress..

I am new to painting and am doing the trunk lid and door jams on my fairlane. Well I am not using base coat clear coat but a Delstar 1 step paint. I was just finishing up my last coat when a bunch of dust particles fell on my work you can see them when you look at different angles very easily. Please do not ask how it happened I am trying to forget that part. Anyway I am wondering the best way to fix this. Can I sand the whole thing again lightly and repaint or what are my options. I know find someone who knows what they are doing. LOL,, Please all advice greatly appreciated....

I assume you used a hardener in the single stage or enamel paint ? If so wait 3-4 days and give it a light sand with 500 grit to remove the dust , clean well and reshoot. If it is enamel paint and no hardener was used, you may have to wait a month for it to harden enough to sand. If when sanding any new paint the sandpaper gets gummy paint on it , stop. The paint is not hardened enough to sand. good luck. jmo

Wait 3-4 days to sand? No!

Wet sand.

Get a bucket, fill it with water, and dip the sandpaper into the water regularly and often.

Thanks to all. I did wet sand it and just sprayed it 20 minutes ago. I will wait a bit before I take a real close look.
