Hey guys, hope to get a bit of advice.

I spent today painting my remaining hanging panels. Now I don't know whether I was going too slow or incorrect gun setup or didn't pay attention but one door and the trunk lid has crazy runs! Dripping off the edge and everything. What a mess! I only did one coat and stopped - I thought it'll probably need to be sanded and try again.

Anyway, what should I do? Block the door in 600 wet and go again? I was going to lay the rest of the coats and shave and cut and polish but with drips throughout the whole length of the door, It's probably easier to start again.

Cheers

If you sand it be prepared to start over since you will most likely sand through the clear into your base.
Did all your other panels turn out okay?

Sorry forgot to mention its single stage urethane solid colour. The other panels turned out okay. Some orange peel and 1 or two small runs to contend with.
