Clear coat

well i was repainting my hood because it was horrible and as a temporary fix i painted it myself, but i messed up on the clear coat, is there anyway to fix this.

also while doing this i guess i miss a spot to tape up and i oversprayed, is there anyway to take it off withouot hurting the paint that was on it, the rest of the paint is fine. its just the hood that was the problem....

Depends on what or how you messed up. Most likely you can buff out overspray or runs. What exactly did you mess up?

na i saw it today its tiny tiny over spray, like on spot where the tape didn't hold down i guess so im not worried about that, but on the hood i think i sprayed too much on some areas because it shines more in some spots lol now that it dried it doesn't look so bad lol but still i would like to have it even.....

Try wet-sanding the hood and then buffing it? I assume that since you painted the hood, you should feel comfortable about wet-sanding, so give it a shot and see if it's better.
