Basecoat/Clearcoat question

Ok I was doing a simple repair to my bumper, and I was applying new paint. Of course, I got a run in one spot on the basecoat. Here's my question:

Can I sand the run out after the basecoat dries (with like 1000 grit paper or finer) and then apply clearcoat, or should I sand the whole spot out and reapply the basecoat? Any ideas? any info appreciated. Thanks.
