Removing overspray

I'm new to painting and have been restoring an old Farmall tractor. So far, I'm pleased with the results - no runs or drips, nice coverage and gloss etc,. I removed most all parts and sprayed them separately and then reassemble. Here's my problem, in the process of reassembly I sometimes chip or scratch the piece (and of course all of the nuts and bolts get chipped). Using a brush doesn't always look good, and if I respray these I get some over spray which dulls the finish on nearby parts. I mask most areas, but of course some close areas have to be unmasked. What is the best way to deal with this? I've considered really, really fine wet/dry paper, but if so, what grit size? Any other suggestions? Thanks

you can try using some rubbing compound to remove the overspray. is it enamel/single stage paint? if you are using a spray gun to apply your paint you could use a little thinner or reducer and spray a bit around the area that you are touching up. this will re-melt the paint and blend in your edges taking the dry spot around your spot repair out.

I use a small touch up gun for the reducer and just mist a bit on, enough to get it wet.
