Hi folks..

I'v just painted a roof and it looks pretty good for my 1st attempt..
Problem i have is there is a couple of drips from the gun.
Can i just flat these down when its gone off and paint it again?
I have used 2k paint.

Thanking you

Let it harden for a day or two. Use a very small bock and 1200 grit wet n dry and rub it out. Dont touch the surrounding paint. When flat, give it some 1500 grit then polish it up

This is the way to go!

No point respraying the whole lot for a couple of drips, just take your time rubbing down and polish them out.

Just to add to the excellent advice already given, it is sometimes helpful to spray a very thin coat of a contrasting colour (dust coat) around the drip so you can see that you are flatting the drip and not the surrounding area. Keep the wet and dry wrapped tightly round the block.

Thanks guys..

When you say polish, do you mean cutting compound or something softer ?

Sorry

[jonny d]

yes they do mean cutting compound don't polish the paint till it is properly dried for a couple of weeks at least I would give it longer if it was mine you could seal in the vapours and stop them from evaporating naturally
