I think some automotive paint shops will mix a small can for you...

 

[Rocky McD]

What paint are you using? How many color coats have been applied. Have you used any clear?

5 coats of 070 automotive touchup paint it is arctic pearl it has a clear laquer in it i also am going to shoot some clear coats over in the end

I have had luck removing drips with a very sharp razor and sanding flat with high grit sandpaper. Once the next coat goes on, especially with laquer, it should disappear. I have never tried it with paint but I assume that once the clear coat goes on it will disappear. Again, I havent tried it with paint but I think it would work.

Read it carefully - most auto paint is lacquer. Let it dry, sand it out carefully, like you would between every coat, and if it disappears, try a coat of clear lacquer. If it doesn't disappear, you know you need to sand more and buy another can...

ya; razor; it will 'work' but so do rocketships; id say try it, the worst that can happen is you have to do, what u were already about to do

I have used nib files for runs and drips. they usually work good but not always. the paint mst be fully hardened. they are cheap at most paint stores or even harbor freight. try them first and then clear over but if you try a nib file and it doesn't work then you can sand back alittle ad then clear coat.

Being it is a pearl color,and not a solid color,you may sand through the drip and leave a blemish. It is almost impossible to make a drip in a metallic,or pearl color blend in without a color blemish. Almost always you will have to put another coat on to hide the drip area.
