Well that can be fixed with wet sanding the line out. One trick is to use body filler over the line and start wet sanding once the body filler is gone so is your clear line. What that allows you to do is not sand too much clear away, you stop sanding when all the body filler is gone. I also do at least three coats of clear because I know I will be wet sanding.

Best way imo is to when you scuff (I use 800 or 1000 grit wet to scuff) the panel don't spray the clear the whole scuffed off area you only are trying to protect the basecoat that you blended, you can always take the scuffs out once you cut and buff the panel. Back taping helps also it gives you a softer edge that just taping off a area.

I hope that makes sense
