Tip: Paint Run Removal
 
I had heard of this trick, but had never seen it done. Nice!

The razor blade prep is in the first video.

I bought some tools from Eastwood to work on runs but that trick is way better. Too bad there aren't more pro's that will share their trade secrets likwe that.

I was worried about the thickness of my clearcoat so I didn't buff. I shaved the runs in the color but the ones in the clearcoat are there for everyone to see... if your looking at my plane, please don't point them out. I know exactly where everyone of them is located. :(

As part of my job I have to paint 2pak regularly and as an average painter I have used this method to remove runs and dirt from paint all the time ,it has saved me from reworking stuff more times than I can count, Snap-on also sell a small de-nib file over here which works fairly well, cheers Mat

Thanks for the links... excellent.

I hadn't thought to look at YouTube for 'how to' guides.
