Screwed up my masking job, can I fix it?
I painted 2 RS4 Micro bodies the other day, one solid red (came out fine ) and a Dodge Stratus with a two tone red on top white on the bottom.
Trouble is my masking job was less than adequate, and some red paint ran down to where the white paint should be. I also got some over spray on the doors.
Is there an easy way to get some of the red off and respray it with white?
Also, I'm using Pactra spray cans. Should I use the White for a backing color or this Opaque White Fluorescent Covercoat I also purchased?
Thanks!

For the overspray question, you should used denatured alcohol and a qtip to remove the paint. I cannot help you with the "red paint gone over to the white paint" question because I screwed up my own body before by trying to take off the paint.

have you painted the white sections yet.
if not the over spray can be removed by fine sand paper. and any drips can be scrapped of with the blade of a exacto knife.
dont worry about scratches being visible, when you paint over it with the white the paint fills the scratch and cover the mistake.
try painting in more lighter coats to avoid drips forming.
