Being such an obvious part, I think I would let it harden and then sand to remove the blemish and re-spray.

or strip and start again

Thats just what I do in that siuation too.

Take Colin's (colin m) advice and if for any reason that doesn't solve the problem, then plan B would be to take Paul's (beowulf) advice.

Most important is to let the paint dry and cure before attempting to sort it out, otherwise you will definitely be starting again.

Cheers

just wondering if I sanded completely back all the parts will car metallic paint work or would it have to be model paint

Jim get a can of mr muscle oven cleaner and put the parts in a plastic bag spray parts with the oven cleaner tie up and leave overnight, rinse in clean water and you will find you are back to the original plastic. Halfords do car paint for plastic in cans make sure you get the stuff for plastic, comes in loads of metalic colours.

Let it harden, flatten it with fine wet and dry and feather it in. Once dry and hardened it should not show after a careful polish.

taken back to basic still got bit of acrylic on. They do spray in enamel but not plastic paint will that be ok for plastic

Halfords do do paint for the plastic parts of cars but failing that house of colours do cans of spray for plastic but i think you would have to order it off the internet also the pound shop does some which i used (check out the lotus done in that paint, it does take a while to harden though and they only do gold and silver in metalic and not many other colours , it does have a super glossy finish though. I used it on the 1/16 vw karman also.
Cant really go wrong for a quid though.
