Paint sagging is defined as downward movement of the paint film between the time of application and drying resulting in an uneven coating. This paint defect is more prominent if a thick layer of paint is applied on a vertical or inclined surface.
Can I sand down paint drips?
Once the raised paint drip has been removed, use a 220 fine grit sandpaper to lightly smooth out the surface. Be sure to sand in the same direction as it was painted (as well as trying to only sand the paint drip area), again to avoid causing a bigger area to fix.
