So I'm working on my first project. I started with a base coat, followed by a couple of coats of primer and blue rusto spray paint, followed by miniwax Nitro lacquer from a rattle can. As I was wet sanding, I went through the lacquer and paint along some of the contours. What would be the best way to fix this?. The areas are very small but I would like to fix them the right way. Should I sand through the whole thing or is there a goodbye aye to do small touch ups? Thanks!

James, were all the products lacquer based? Is blue rusto lacquer?

The rustoleum is Painters Touch ultra cover 2x enamel spray paint.

You take a risk, IMO, to apply nitro over enamel. It can cause adhesion problems that might not show up for months. I know this the hard way. I'm not sure how risk-adverse you might be, so what to do now kind of hinges on that.

Mr. Turner.... best not to mix finishes.... especially nitro with anything else.

So should I sand everything back to wood?

That would be my option. Sand back and use nitro base, colour and then clear over the top.

I'd use stripper, but that's just me.
