Well, I've done it again! After a tremendous paint job on my Tamiya Ford Focus RS WRC, The body, along with the rear wing slipped out of my hand. Result: A bruised ego and I had to glue the rear wing with the bodywork once again. Now there is a problem: Because of the accident, the joints did not fit that good anymore, so i had to use a more than healthy amount of glue. What should I do next? Do I just have to sand it down, and then apply an extra layer of paint, or do I have to start all over again? I've posted a pic along with it.

Okay then! Like we say it here in Belgium: G*DV*RD**M*! You can guess what that means :icon16: .
After this relief, I will take the bodywork, put it nicely in the Dot 4 Castrol Oil, and wait for a day.
The good news is that I have plenty of metallic blue paint, so that shouldn't cause any problems.

Okay, I hope the picture's quality is good enough now (There was too much light). As you can see, the glue has left some marks. It has "eaten away" the paint. Can I fix this, or do I have to start all over now?

i'm not an expert, but I would mask off all the unaffected areas and leave only the affected area open. Then sand the affected area, and then spray some coats, and then light sand and compound and polish. The wing looks like a small part so I would strip it and repaint.
