With the help of this site I ventured out and painted by first project...Not a single fisheye or problem with moisture. Color coat went on very well, but I managed to get a few runs in the clear...(beginners!) I used Nason select clear mixed 4:1. Do you think my gun was set up improperly, or did I just put too much product down? Whats the proper way of removing them without repainting...? Thanks any help is appreciated and respected..Bob :wink:

Sounds like you sprayed a little heave where it ran. Try sanding the runs down with some 1200 grit wet dry then goto 1500 then 2000. Buff it out and it should be fine. Unless you only put 2 coats of clear on then I'd sand with 1000 grit and shoot another coat of cear before I finish sanded with 1500-2000.
