Default Powder Not Thick Enough

I just did the swingarm to my quad tonight and it turned out amazing! Except one little spot. Certain ways the light shines off it you can see that there is a light spot where it appears that the powder was not thick enough.

Just wondering what I could do to fix this? Its not a big deal if theres nothing I can do, like I will leave it like this before blasting it and recoating it. But is there a simple fix?

Thanks

Not really a simple fix. Sand and recoat, recure. Depending where it is and how big an area, you could mix powder and acetone to make a liquid and dab it on. But it should be an area where it don't grab the eye and not be very big of a spot.

Alright I wont bother with it then. You cant notice it unless your looking for it. If I took a picture it probably wouldn't even be enough to show up.

If I could have just sprayed that one little area and rebaked then I probably would of done that but its not worth the work to recoat it all.
