re paint, is it actually the paint that has drips in it, or does it just need a cut and polish around that area? perhaps a hit of wax polish?

try a professional buff with a cut and polish before you go extreme and repaint it..

I've had my EA for 2 weeks now and the worst bit was the paint. I have cut back the whole car and it's most impressive, it's something my mates can't get over. USE Kitten cutting compound, and a buffer, I got K-Marts MVP Buffer for $26 as it was 25% off in the auto section. Use the shorter material pad to apply the cutting matter, then buff off with the lambswool, or as I did with clean cloth by hand. Trust me, it's worth it. Check my Gallery for results! It's just cut, even tho it looks polished.

Try wax and grease remover from supercheap,it's used to clean paint before being painted.

sorry that was more a question of "are you sure you need to repaint", not a suggestion. Cut and polish is always worth a try, for the couple of bucks it costs it doesnt matter if it doesnt help (but usually does)
