I just finished painting my roll cage today and the two side bars that are in the pictures have some dirt particles in them from the damn wind!! Should I just lightly sand them with a high grit sandpaper and spray another coat or two over it? I sprayed three coats of grey primer and 5 coats of satin black already.

If I was you, i would wet sand it with 400-600 grit sandpaper, depending on how big the dust particles are. Then spray another coat or 2 of paint. For durability sake, i would also spray 3-4 coats of satin clear coat for protection. Good luck man, i cant wait to see this with the interior back in!

I wouldn't worry about it. Once you get in and out of it a few times, it won't matter anyway.

If you want to help keep the dust down, do it in a wind free envireoent, and hose everything around it down (driveway etc) so that dust will stick to it when it hits it instead of floating off.
