hi to all, after sanding a painted body to remove 5 little air bubbles I created a small section (2mmx1) where you can see primer; what happens if I spray the paint over it?

You may end up with a lighter patch of colour than the surrounding area.But it all depends.What colour? What type of paint? Metallic or non metallic?

It's a tamiya spray can: French blue (non metallic) over tamiya grey primer.

Could be difficult to cover without ending up with a lighter patch where you have rubbed through to the primer.The Tamiya paint can be a little thin and translucent, but if you build it up slowly in thin coats it should cover reasonably well and they do blend in quite nicely.

That's right. Build it up in slow light coats and you should have no trouble. Do not try to fix it all at once. But if you go about it patiently, there will be no visible flaw. Tamiya lacquer is good for this sort of thing.
