Should I run out to the bodyshop supply store today and buy one of those nib cutter things and try to shave off the runs while they are still soft ? Or just wait till the paint totally hard and use a small block and some 400 wet paper. I'll be colorsanding and buffing the whole thing anyway so not worried about the runs but just wondering whats the best way to handle them. I use the razor blade method after it dries... BUT the easiest I've done it was with a piece of masking tape while its still wet. get a length of masking tape, pull it semi taught with the sticky side facing the wet paint. TAP, and I mean BARELY tap the wet run with the tape, and pull away quickly...takes the excess paint/clear with it. It wont be PERFECT but comes out with colorsanding easier.
