In spraying jd enamel on a '49 "A" last week, I ended up with some over-spray in a few places. A good example is the radiator fan where one of the blades is that way. Is there a way that one blade can be lightly sanded , rubbed with some sort of polish, and buffed??? If so, how do I do it, and with what?? Or any other suggestions??
Thanks for the help.

The rubbing compound method works well. Last week I got some red implement enamel overspray on the hood of my car. Looking across the hood there was a pink color. Came up with the idea of rubbing compound on my own actually.

Just use any fine grit rubing compound and polish,both found at your auto supply store and rub with clean soft rag until it shines to suit you. Stay away with the sand paper,you surely will go through the paint somewhere and then will have to repaint. I would also wear a leather glove,since the fan is installed you will surely beat up your knuckles rubbing it.Use the compound until it's smooth,then polish to shine.

Yes you can do that to make it shine OR why not just scotchbrite it smooth and re-paint just that blade? It would be just as quick,cheaper than buying rubbing compound and polish,since you already have the paint.If you are showing this kind of attention to detail on the whole tractor it should be quite a showpiece when done!

Perhaps I should have included more info in the original post. The problem is that the fan assembly has been re-installed on the tractor. I've never tried anything like this, but wouldn't it be quite a task to do the necessary masking, etc??
