Thanks guys! Yes I need to get some compound on it definitely and buff it out. Probably will wetsand it for sure. I did get some overspray on the bottom of the tail - I thought I had it taped off really well but apparently not, same with the fog. I will have to use some brake parts cleaner on them or something. Suggestions?

i would wait a week or so before you try to get the overspray off. incase it happens to get on the paint. it should be 100% cured in a week or so

I'm gonna take them both off completely to get the overspray off and then wash them before putting them back on.

A harsh chemical may fog them. I would try that mild compound you are going to use.

That's where I work! Haha I was probably parked a long ways out in the lot too. Too funny.

Is it okay for me to wetsand and use compound on that today?? I am sticking with single stage so that it blends together better. I will wait a few weeks at least to wax those spots.
