light sanding.
I would sand it all off, retape the area and repaint. Otherwise, it will look like a "patch job".
Take a q-tip and dunk in finger polish remover. Rub along the drip until it starts to blend with the rest of the paint. Careful you don't rub too long or you'll need to spray again. Good luck.

If you are already finished painting your surface and you notice that there are runs in the coating, there are a few steps you can do to potentially fix the run. If the paint is still wet, you can consider using a nap roller to smooth out the run (though this may not give you the same smooth appearance that the original sprayed coating had) this can be a solution for certain projects where the appearance doesn’t have to be perfect (this is often the case in industrial paint applications).
If the coating is dried, you’ll typically need to use an appropriate sandpaper based on what the products surface is to remove the runs. If the area with runs is significantly large and you are painting a metal product you may need to consider blasting the product surface to remove all the paint. By sanding or blasting and then repainting you will ensure a more uniform surface compared to rolling out the run.
After removing the runs using an appropriate option above whether it’s sandpaper or sandblasting you will then need to re-spray the area and areas immediately surrounding the affected area with the coating system you applied to the product.
Thank you!
