    Hi, im painting my case and iv paint stripped it sanded it primered it and then wet sanded it before putting colour on. I put my first lot of colour on earlier today and on 1 of the panels i havent sanded it fully smooth by acident so now on that panel you can see the imperfections/small bumps. Is there anything i can do to get rid of these small bumps without starting over on that panel and paint stripping. Is it possible to maybe sand it or wet sand it with maybe a high sand paper for example 1500? or maybe there is another way?

    You can try sanding it down, but if the bumps are big enough to be anything other than dust, it's probably going to need to be sanded down flat(no need to strip totally though) and another few coats applied.

    1000>1500>2000, wet sanding gives a better finish(imo). If the bumps remain, time to level it with a rougher grit and respray.
