Good News . It is tricky with Acryil paint , Unless you use multiple coats and let fully dry. But enamel paint is less forgiving when used, but can be cut back flat and then polished up, Send a few pics of the finished cab

Retropin is right, as per my original suggestion, acrylic urethane would have been fine (more than likely). Getting wax off completely now, for clear coat, would more than likely involve some level of sanding, so that boat has now sailed...
