guys, i just stuffed up my eyelids.. i painted them.. perfect they were..
and i applied the first coat of clear coat, so it'll look shiny.. placed the spray can down... and what happens..
i huge gust of wind picks it up.. and throws it face down on the floor..
that really pissed me off.. but its uneven.. coz its scratches..
what should i do?
should i strip it back down and start again?
blooody annoyed me bad!
i'll post up pics if anyone wants to see how bad it turned..
i don't know what to do..
would paint thinner take the paint all off?

so was there any clear on it or just the white. if its just the white, rub the scratches back with wet and dry. if the clear is on, you have to get rid of it first. the white wont stick very well to clear.

Sand it back effected Area with 600-800p Wet/Dry Paper till smooth.
Quickly scuff entire part with same Type Paper.

you should wet (very fine) sand the colour before you spray the clear if you want it to be super glossyand smooth
