For those of us spray painting our own vehicles it is inevitable we will get some dust in the paint and no doubt most of us will get a run or two
There is nothing wrong with getting a run in the paint and from a well known local spray painter he reckons if you don't get a run every now and again you are not putting the paint on thick enough!
Anyway there are a few ways of removing these imperfections including applying fine body filler over the run then wet sanding the hell out of it or sanding the dust nibs with a tiny block and 1500 grit sandpaper or finer
Always looking for a better way I came across a relatively newer way of approaching this using a tungsten block so always looking for a better way I purchased a tungsten block receiving it today and couldn't help myself in at least giving it a shot.
Boy was I surprised at how easily it removed any blemishes but you do need to be careful with it
As much as I would like to take a video of my results I was lazy and have included a link here to a well made video
