[img][img][/img][/img]Finished laying down 3 coats metallic gray base followed by 3 coats of gloss clear when disaster struck. My 6 month black lab chased a cat thru my spray area, cat made it through the ladder dog not so lucky. Result me airborne above the car resulting in several penny size spots of clear. Possible to wet sand this out or should I start over .

Mike, are you saying that there are a few 'lumps' of clear that got tossed onto your final coat of clear?

Treat them just like runs; let cure for a bit until you can sand - then hard block wet-sand with anywhere from p600 to p1000. "hard block" doesn't need to be fancy, you can even use a piece of paint stick if you want to...

Thanks, I was hoping I could wet sand it out. I was thinking of using a DA , but guess I'll stick to hand sanding with a block. Worst case scenario is reshoot the hood.

Definitely use the hard block like Chris suggested. You only want to sand the glob and not the surrounding areas.
