A drop or two of soap or dishwashing liquid can be added to the water for better lubrication.
After the surface is sufficiently level and smooth, repaint the part, being careful not to cause a run this time!
It worked out great. Paint run gone. Thanks for your help.
Now I have a new problem:

What's the best way to fix the paint peel? Sand it off and start over or fill it in
