Thread: Paint repair tip.

I think you guys are talking about a nib file. I didn't mind them too much for dirt specks but haven't used one in a long time. Use to use it at the dealership I worked for 15 years ago. The only time you could get a clean paint job was when it was raining outside. For little hangers I prefer dulling the corners of a razor blade and shaving the run by scraping with the blade. One trick I sometimes do if it is starting to run is to take the sticky side of the tape and carefully dab the run while its still wet. Of course we never have to use any tricks like these because all our paint jobs are perfect. I use to really hose the clear when I started painting. Now with todays clears I don't think its needed as much. Plus you are asking for trouble if you rush it. Can possibly get solvent popping or a big run. But on the last coat of clear, like to put on a good wet coat.
