[Dangerous Doug]

In terms of the overall process, I suppose it would go something like this?

First, lay on a layer of dark primer, and then sand it off (with 220 grit? Wet? Dry?) to reveal the deeper scratches where the paint is left behind.

Second, continue with the sanding (220? Wet? Dry?) to smooth out the deeper scratches.

Third, continue with the sanding, but wet sanding in 400, then 800 grit.

Fourth, polish with an electric buffer and polishing compound. (Mother's? DuPont? Suggestions?)

Fifth, kneel and be Knighted Sir Endursalot by the Queen of England.

Sixth, enjoy the accolades and adoration of the high and mighty Cobraphiles, as well as the common man.

Seventh, notice a missed scratch and start all over again...
