paint runs

You can't expect to be a pro first time out.

that's funny- the first paint job I did was my '66 mustang (corvette yellow)- came out great.
I've never had another turn out as well lol.

...I remember when I was painting my 'stang, a huge fly got in there with me and started buzzing around. I was afraid he was going to land on the car. When he landed on my arm he (and my arm) got a nice thick coat of yellow so that he wouldn't end up on the car:D

When they were wet I used to just take masking tape dap the area and hit it again quick, you never new anything happened.

a buddy of mine was doing an overnight 'hit the guardrail with my trash am and want to fix it before anyone sees it' job to his car. He got a huge run in the door, so he ran it right down the side and razor bladed it off later. Turned out perfect. And matched the rest of the car so well that someone didn't realize it was fresh paint and leaned on it while it was still soft.
