wet sand and clear coat drip

well when he painted my kit. he didn't wet sand so i have to doit myself how do you actually do that and what sand paper do you use. Also on one of my side ground effect the clear coat dripped alot and he told me i could get sand and buffer it out it it'll look fine... How would i do that part and he also siad something like to also have to compound it too after u sand down that clear coat on the side skirt

you get what you pay for. if you want it to look good then let a pro do it. if you dont know how to paint and prep body parts then it'll look like a shitty DIY

na the paint job was good it was just the clear coat on that one side skirt that is dripping and i was just wondering on how to fix it with wet sand and buffering. and the guy who painted my kit was a friend who knew how to paint but doesn't have a shop to do it in
