particles in the clearcoatfinish. Can I sand the clearcoat smooth and
recoat.

you should be able to, not two smooth, leave the surface - with a
"tooth"(profile) so the clear coat will adhear.

if you will use a _tack cloth_ (available at paint stores) and wipe the
surface just

before the application of the clear coat - it should pick up the
"debris" from the

surface - resulting in a smooth finish, void of any particulate matter.

Sure! You should use wet-sanding sand paper - 400 grit for enamel based and
600 grit for lacquer.
sand it smooth. When applying your clear-coat you should be inside with as
minimal dust/air movement. temp should be around 60 - 80F

Are they in the clear itself or are they on the top of the color coat
and under the clear. Either way your going to be sanding back to the
color coat if you want to do it in one coat and not have to start over
again. Just sand using 400 until you remove the clear, then go over it
with 600. Tack it off good and then to reduce the problem with dust/crud
use a small sprayer with some water and spray down the area your
painting in. If your only doing some small parts make a booth out of
cheap poly sheeting hung up with some clothesline and clips. Make it big
enough that you can move around the parts. Then clean the parts and
spray.
