Suggestions for Krylon paint drips

[ashburns54]

I've recently spray painted my Cybergun P90 and the end result is almost perfect ive just got a few paint drips to deal with. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing them or reducing them? Sandpaper seems to just scratch the s&*t out of my gun 

 

Thanks again boys

You need to use wet sandpaper around 1200grit with a block.

(I find small figure 8s better than circles when sanding)

Rub it down and do it again.

 

I echo what @EDcase said though, use wet & dry paper preferably 1200 or more but be aware that you'll have to touch it up if you want it to look good. That will probably need another coat over the whole thing or you'll just get a patch of dry spray around where you try to cover.

Yep, you'll need to put another THIN coat over it

They should ALL be thin coats but by the fact he's got drips imma go ahead say they weren't.

Cheers boys yeah I used it sparingly. I've just got a couple of drips to contend with nothing major. 

 

I'll post the result in here when it's done. 🔫👍

krylon disolves with nail varnish remover.

For those interested, Im buzzing with the results thanks for the advice the 1200 grit sand paper worked perfectly.

 

Anyone know a tip for the stickiness because of the Krylon paint? Or will it just go in time?

 

Thanks

Stickiness? Weird. Is it actually tacky? Maybe pop it in your airing cupboard to cure properly.
