Dust!
Right after I spray, a speck of dust fell onto the paint surface! Argggg... How do I rescue this? Also, at some places, there are air bubbles. Is it because I sprayed too near?

The dust isn't a problem, just wait for it to dry, sand it out, then lacque again.
As for the bubbles, is it a decalled car? Bubles usually pop out from decals.
Otherwise it isn't shaken enough or too much too close! Or it can be sprayed too soon after washing it!

Thanks! It is bare plastic I'm spraying on. Most likely I've not shaken the can enough as I'm pretty impatient! How long do you recommend? And the recommended distance?

Ok OK. I painted my integra body with 1 coat of paint, and found some "rough spots" so I took my testors sanding films and went to town on them. SO After i sand the imperfections out I paint it again. 2 coats? then rubbing compound THEN clear or clear then rubbing compound. ( I have this 3M rubbing compound that sats removies fine scratches. This stuff will work right?

Thanks
JOsh
