I have sanded it down to a smooth service, and need
a little help from here.
Can you give me the run down as to do it.

Answer
Ted-

With today's finishes it is not really a do it yourself type of repair but kudos to you for wanting to tackle it yourself. Consult a local automotive refinish supplier- they will have the materials you need to do it yourself. They can also guide you on proper methods for your actual repair. Good luck! Mark
