Wanting to 'flatten' paint

Hi all

I am in the process of hand painting squadron codes on an aircraft currently WIP.

having removed the masking tape I find that the paint is a little proud .. . .

I need to flatten this down but just unsure of the best method ?

 

Would a soft brush on a hand-held modellers drill be sufficient to take the high edges off ?

I dont think using abrasive sand papers would be ideal.

 

any help with be appreciated.

I think a very fine paper/cloth like Micromesh (say 4000) might be the way to go. Alternatively a similarly fine sanding stick, gently applied, should get rid of the ridge.

 

I would be wary of anything mechanised as the chances of disaster go up exponentially.

 

cheers,

Jason
