- Even though I will have to repaint this car, I had already made this video before I found the paint flaw. I always wanted to try this technique. Removing a run in clear coat using spot putty. it seemed to do the job. Might give you some confidence if you have the same problem.

I never would have thought of that
You can always use a razor blade to get rid of the bulk of the run & then a single wipe of the putty like you'd spread filler. That way the putty is fairly flat & sands easier :)
Never thought of this before see 2500 miles away better than a class thumbs up 👍.
I have real good luck with just taking a new razor blade and scrape them off holding the blade 90 degrees of the surface. Been doing body work since 1974 so I seldom make runs anymore
I’ve done that as well.
Hi there! Greetings from Brazil
Thats a pretty cool trick, never would have thought to put spot putty over clear!!
hi barry it work well it look good
Awesome tip and demonstration!
Interesting technique. I have never seen this before. I think I will stick with the razor blade. I have had good luck with it in the past.
I'd be worried of missing a 600 scratch. That won't buff out. Its funny how if you cut down a run you always seem to feel it. But I'll keep that in mind if I don't have a new razor blade.
Very cool trick! I’ll keep that in my back pocket. Peacock Blue for my 63.5 Falcon Futura soon!
Go get em barry I feel your pain hope you and family make it to the lake for the weekend
What is pretty amazing is that after a period of time ,months, the runs in clear coat diminish considerably , at least they do in the Texas heat .
I've seen it on several occasions so with this technic they should be completely gone after a period of time .
Thanks for that tip .
I just hate it when I have the runs..... Interesting method though. Thanks for sharing.
Question- is the spot putty used to make the runs easier to see so you know they are gone or maybe to flatten the panel out so there is less chance of sanding through to the color? Or both? I wasnt clear as to why putty was used in this way. Thx
Both. With the transition in the panel, it would be easy to break through the clear. The putty helps prevent that.
Hey Barry I have never seen that technique before. Very interesting!
AWESOMENESS!!! Any soap in your water? I didn't hear you say if you added any. Beautiful work as always.
A little dish soap. I should have mentioned that.
That’s a great tip, does this technique also work on single stage urethane or just clear coats
I have not tried on single stage, but it should.
What is the purpose of the putty? Protecting the clear not in the run?
Yes and it lets you know when it’s all flat.
So is the spot putty just like a thick guide coat and when it's all gone your run should be too?
Yes.
nice fix. Thanks for posting. In retrospect would you have gone with the razor blade technique or gone with the spot putty? I need to find your razor technique video......
It seemed to work fine. I could have done a combination of the two.
Why you make runs in first place
So I could demonstrate how to remove them. 😂
Those aren’t runs every great painter signs his work 😂
