Hello!

I just sprayed emerald urethane on a painstaking oak railing system with a Graco hvlp. Was not asked to fill all the grain as they liked the wood look.

Sanded, sprayed bin, sanded, top coated X2 but the flats between the spindles on the bottom ended up with some overspray grit.

Am I hooped and need to resand everything and top coat again with an overspray shield or could I lightly sand with 400 the bad areas and use like a buffing wax or something?

Thanks for your help

sanding and buffing only applies to high gloss paint.

You could try just rubbing it with paper. It works with lacquer sugaring. IDK about paint though, but it might work, if its not too rough. other than that, you might just have to mask it off and paint it in sections.

I would use paper like woodco mentioned, if that doesn't work you could use a worn out sanding sponge or higher grit paper. The sanding scuffs may not be noticeable since it's down low on the flats. If they are noticeable you can always just use a 1-in brush and do those areas by hand again. A good way to eliminate this problem next time is to spray the flats first.

Although late to the party, try wiping and removing with the foam backed side of a 3M sanding pad or give it a couple of light hand swipes with a fine cerium oxide finishing disc such as 3M’s Trizact 568XA.
