Hi guys,
I'm doing a Calsonic Skyline, and I had a problem with the painting, the mist coats and the first wet coat, or heavy coat, went good, but the second one went like a nightmare, I made a terrible mistake, put too much paint, so now I have some run marks and little bubbles in the car.
After hitting the wall with my head for some time I started thinking about how to solve the problem, could some major sanding and washing before a new coat solve my problem or I have to do something more drastic?
Every help is much apreciated.

try some wet sanding, you may be able to recover without having to use CSC or brake fluid. can you post some pics? may make it easier to help you.

Man, I know how important pics are in a modeling forum, but I don't have a digital camera.... yet.....
I'll try my best shot in wetsanding like you said, I am hoping not to have to strip all the paint mainly because I live in Brazil, by what I know Castrol doesn't sell CSC here, and I don't know what is the equivalent for that here. By the way, is brake fluid a good thing for this kind of job or not? Because in the tutorials and stuff it sounds like people don't like this alternative too much.
Could someone just give me one information, in the CSC, is it the Sodium Hidroxide that does the job, or is it the sodium metasilicate or anything else?
