Two tone goof

Doing a two tone, both being metallic colors. Applied the lighter color first as it would be easiest to tape off later. Taped off the first color and applied the second color.

During untaping I noticed a spot where the second color had got onto the first color (missed taping a spot in the curve of a scallop). The first color has

two coats of intercoat clear on top. What can I do to remove the goof ? I tried a little solvent wax and grease remover while it was still fresh (2 hours) but it did nothing.

Even though the first base sat overnight before I taped on it I still got some slight tape tracks. Need to remove those also. I am hoping you guys will say its OK to lightly wet sand

these areas (600, 800, 1000 ?) or scotchbrite since there are 2 coats of intercoat on there. Please help! Thanks
 
Mask to protect the second color in the repair area, try lightly sanding the overspray off up to the tape line with 1000 grit, if you cut through the intercoat just put a little more color on where needed. Those tape tracks-sometimes you'll see where the tape was applied but when cleared it is invisible-can you post a photo of the issues?
 
Thanks a bunch, Bob. I did as you said with the 1000 grit and it came off nice and clean, no cut through to the metallic base. The tape marks were not the typical 'dulling' of the basecoat but more of an imprint of the tapes edge. The 1000 grit worked great on those also. This was the first time I have had an overspray problem on a two-tone job and was not sure how to proceed without messing it up and adding more work. Thanks for sharing your experience.
