Karl, Thanks so much - it makes a lot of sense to redo from the primer up. The white is just too thin and doesn't fill in. I'll give it a go! Again, thanks! I'm new to the forum, so I didn't see there was a section for painting/airbrushing. My bad.

Decant some primer and spray it again with that. Don't try to fix it with gloss white; that's nearly impossible. If you don't have an AB, mask the part that you got paint on, and hit it with primer. Then do all the steps again of adding the rest of it until you are happy. Then you'll have to blend it into the rest of the model's coat by careful, patient sanding.

Try asking in the Painting and Airbrushing Forum.

Spray several light coats of white.

I have a plastic model with Tamiya white primer, then a coat of Tamiya matte white, and finally a topcoat of Tamiya Peral White. Then I painted part of an area flat black, but missed a part of the masking, and some black overspray got on the white.

I sanded it with 1000 grit dry, and re-painted. But I can still see sort of a "shadow" where the black paint was.

How can I re-do it, and eliminate the "shadowing"? My guess is that I might have sanded too hard?
