How bad of a run is it? I did a truck once in gun metal. I did not have any runs but it was dry. I wet sanded it lightly and it came out ok. A chevelle i did in the same color i hd a run in it and tried to wet sand it out. Were the run is its smooth but there is a dark line. This ws with single stage paint. With base coat clear coat u can wet sand the run out.But be carefull that u don't go through the clear coat.
