I messed up. The base coat (green) was not put on uniformly and left light and dark bands on the hood. Unfortunately I did not notice this until I had sprayed three coats of clear coat. To recover I thought I would sand the clear off with 400 wet paper. That clear is tougher than I realized as I have not broken through to the base coat yet after a fair amount of sanding. My question is can I just sand the clear some and then go ahead a spray two coats of base and two coats of clear on top or will I have some sort of failure due to too many layers of paint?

If you cut through the clear you can have problems because the solvents from the paint get under the clear and lift it.
Just sand and repaint, it is not a problem at all.
