think about shaving the drip off with a razor?
if its real thick Id try that, then block wet sand it flat with 800/1000. |

I'd redo it all over,if you have that many sags,,it will take,way longer to wetsand them out than dry sanding the whole car back to base,re touch the base and go to clear,with your newly acquired experience of letting the clear tack up longer between coats,,

I know exactly how you feel, the suggestion of sanding the whole Vette is probably the best idea. I just finished painting base/clear on my 1985 Vette and had runs in the hood, must have sanded and repainted four times before getting the job right, even had to go out and buy another quart of red base color $90.00. My experience is the following, have good equipment, clean area to paint, remove all debrie with tack cloth, etc, etc.
