Hi,

I just got done painting a bedroom and while 99% of it looks decent, there is some noticeable streaks and drip marks. Can someone please offer advice on how to make these non-noticeable? I read one post that mentioned lightly sanding down the area. Are there any implications to this process? Any particular sand paper I should be using?

Thanks for your help.

Sanding down the runs is about the best way to remove them. Use some 180 grit paper, so that there are no large sanding marks. Then touch up the paint.

Hope this helps.
