Default Gotta Qs. Bergel panel mod.

Well, I did my berger mod this past weekend, it went very well, sooo smooth like glass. Thinking the paint was dry (waited for 4-5 hrs) I decided to put it back on the car before it gets dark. Everything was going well and all of a sudden when I was alighning the panel to the key hole it fell on my shorts and low and behold where the camaro lettering is at, the paint was still tacky! Fack! So it left a print off of my shorts nice 2" print. To make a matter worst, I panicked and the tail lights popped out of the tail panel and somewhat left gouges! Good thing it was pretty small but its big enough to notice!

Should I start over, sand it down, and paint it black and clear coat it again? OR is there a better solution for this?

You're only option is probably to sand it down and start over.

Let it dry over night this time!
