I've recently applied a solvent based metallic aerosol paint to components of a segmented MDF project. Most of the paint went on fine, except for one segment which I found difficult to paint inside some nooks and crannies. As a result, I gave this piece several coats of paint and fear I've over-painted. The paint refused to set, even after being left for several days. This morning I took a household paint scraper to the segment and removed most of it but I couldn't reach all the paint, so traces remain although I have made an impression. There are still traces of the paint but abrasive paper is just getting clogged up.
I can smell the fumes of the paint solvent so I'm tempted to leave the segment until there's no more smell, then sand, apply some undercoat and respray. But I need to make sure that I get all the paint into the nooks and crannies properly this time without applying an excess on other areas of the segment.
I'm very much open to suggestions as to the way ahead!
