I saw this guy on youtube fixing a paint run. I thought it looked like something that would work on the odd run, an it does not look difficult.

Look up Dan Horton's thread on Cut & Buff. He has a genious trick for removing runs.
Hopefully you don't spray that many runs. He also has some big time orange peel to fix.
Look up Dan Horton's thread on Cut & Buff. He has a genious trick for removing runs. Takes no time at all and removes the run without touching adjacent paint.
Short version...
Place a new singke edge razor in the scraper tool. Make a mental note or mark it top/bottom.
Drag the top side of the blade accross a sheet of 400 grit at a 45 degree angle a dozen times. It creates a microscopic curl o the metal.
Scrape the run top to bottom with the blade oriented correctly top/bottom. Watch the magic. It's pretty amazing and only takes a few passes. Wet sand 1000, 1500, 2000 then cut and buff. Beautiful.
