Now the base coat has had a few minutes to dry and Tony's going to touch up any little imperfections. Honest to goodness this paint has been sitting for about seven or eight minutes. Just long enough for Tony to take off his clean suit. He's got some finer sandpaper there, wet or dry paper, and he's just going to visually go over anything and sand out any little imperfections.
