Yo,

My spray gun leaked on the car. Got five or so blobs of paint. Do I wait for them to dry then ..... what?

Cheers for any advice.

What were you painting?

Metallic or solid?

If its solid they will flat out with a rubbing block and able to polish back.

If its metallic and its the basecoat, then it needs flatting and another coat or 2 before laquering.

If its metallic and its the laquer, chances are they will flat out with a rubbing block and polish back.

Primer, so block sander thing.

.....

....

Where do I get one of them? Or is it just a block with some wet dry?

[blue redtop]

flat block of wood will do the trick.
go for 800 grade as its only primer

Ahh, primer.

Block of wood works, but if your doing alot of flatting.. like the whole car, spend a couple of 10er's and buy a couple rubbing blocks from a paint supplier.

Well worth it.

I use 320 to flat primer for solid colours and 1200 for metallics. But thats me. Others will suggest finer for both.
