I ust did some pre-shading and on a few spots the top coat went on a little rough…I think I was holding the airbrush a little too far away. Other than masking the area, sanding, re-priming and re painting, any one have any other ideas as to a way to smooth that area back out?
I was thinking of just letting the paint set up for a day or so and just try brushing or wiping off the effected area.
Sounds crazy, but try a coffee filter. I use them for doing just that- smoothing out rough spots in paint. It’s abrasive enough to smooth it out, but not so rough that it removes the paint.
You might try a finger nail polishing stick. Usually they come in a three or four surface variety, with each surface being progressively finer. I’ve used them to polish stratches out of clear canopies, so out of the different grits, one will certainly work for the degree of paint roughness you have in your finish. Just let the paint cure fully, which it sounds as though you are already planning to do, and you should be able to smooth it just fine.
