Prepped Dome Panel for Clear Coat Touch-Up

I noticed that one of the panels on droid #1's dome has a bit of a defect in my application of the clear coat I performed recently. It looks like there is a little bit of bubbling just above the reflected light.



I've decided to try to fix this. The plan is to lightly wet-sand this with 2000 grit sand paper, with some dish wash liquid added to reduce the abrasiveness.



I did my best to only sand off the clearcoat, and avoid sanding into the Duplicolor blue layer just below it.



After sanding, I applied a little bit of dish wash liquid as a pseudo-clear coat to see if things still looked ok. It seemed that the color was retained.



Tomorrow I will go to Mike Senna's house for the clear coating. He was using a can of Spray Max 368 0061 and expects to have some extra in the can, that will expire in about 48 hours anyway. That panel just needs a few square inches of coverage.
