If you could post some pictures of it on the forum that would help out alot. Was the car painted with a single stage or a two stage paint? Is it a metalic color, peral color, or solid? If it is a single stage paint I wouldn't really do much with it. You don't sound like you have alot of knowledge about paint and you might make it look worse. Single stage paints are hard to fix by doing color sanding if you don't have the knowledge or experience to do it. I'm not trying to be an asshole but, I started to learn how to paint when I was 15 and I'm 22 now and still don't know all the ins and outs of it. Paint is very touchy. I wouldn't color sand a single stage.

If the paint is a two stage and the run is in the clear, you can color sand with 1500 grit and then buff it out with 3M rubbing compound you can by at an automotive paint specialty store. Don't buy the stuff at kragen or autozone, the grit of the rubbing compound isn't fine enough. If you are color sanding black paint or a very dark color, you will need a 3 stage rubbing compound to get the gloss back.

What I mean by color sand is you go buy a "wet sanding sponge" and then sand the run in the clear untill it there are no more shiny spots on the area of the run, then buff and see what it looks like, repeat as necessary and don't take too much clear off at once, you might sand through the clear and then you will be pissed.

Hope that helps my man. Just research and read and you can figure out most any problems.

yea if the problem or "run" as you say is in the color coat (the first stage) then there isn't a whole lot you can do. Post some pics and then I can give you some more direct advise on what you can do to fix the issue.
