repairing a scratch, compounding
So i repaired a 3" scratch with touch up paint and used enough paint & clearcoat that the scratch is no longer a scratch but looks like a scar with the repair paint slightly elevated above surrounding paint.
I wet sanded with 2000 grit (FYI car is jet black) and then I used meguiars ultimate compound with DA orbiter compound pads to repair the paint scuffing caused by the sanding. Also then polished with meguiars polish.
So I didn't sand enough and there is still the raised "scar". I'm just worried that if I sand too much there will be a point where compounding won't be able to repair the surrounding paint. Is this right?
