So I just finished spraying a few of my brake parts. I managed to lay the paint on a little too thick on the last coat and got a small run on the master cylinder. Can I just sand and touch up the small area or should I respray the whole part? Thanks.

I used two different paints for my brake parts. VHT caliper paint for the calipers. And a regular multi-purpose satin black enamel for the MC since I do not plan on baking the MC. Don't recall the actual brand of paint, but it was purchased from Lowes I believe. Thanks.

Yea that's what I'm thinking. It probably won't look right unless I spray the whole MC. No big deal. Thanks.
