Remove A Paint Run in 1 Minute. Removing Paint Runs.

What happens here

Using a True Swipe swab, which resembles a large Q-tip, gently rub it over a small paint spit on the surface. Work the swab around the imperfection, applying light pressure, until the paint spit begins to melt and blend smoothly with the surrounding painted area. Continue until the raised profile is eliminated, leaving a flat, paint-ready surface.

let's start with uh this guy right up there right here we go i'm just gonna take that swab and work it around a little bit and get that solution on there and it's gonna start melting down that acrylic we just wanna we can work it around a little bit and we can see the white color kind of starting to come through on some of those work around just all over those ridges there and the beauty of this is you don't have those raised profiles like you're going to have if you were wet sanding and it's not curling up like it would if it were wet sanding that right there is getting pretty darn smooth you can use another swab just to clean it up that right there if that were the only spit right there i would be happy coating over the top of that and it's going to look pretty darn good so that's amazing so i got so that was a that was a really really large spit right there i created by taking the actual tip out of uh graco handheld sprayed it it throws some massive spits on there typically we're not gonna be dealing with spits that big on a door um you're not gonna have to do so much rubbing and wiping but right there i mean i can't even feel any ridges on that at all yeah so do you think if you sprayed that right there you're probably not going to see that no not at all in fact last week we had a door we were messing around with some new tips from a tip manufacturer and one of them just left this big old spit right in the middle of this smooth panel door so stop dried
