School me: Leveling touchup paint

[Manhattan]

This is the hood of a 2017 Mazda CX5... that I'm selling. If I remember correctly (it's my daughter's car), this tennis ball size collection of pits/divots is from an egg that was thrown from a car. I painstakingly touched every (!) individual spot with a medium-tip acrylic paint pen. That alone reduced the "noticeability" of the damage by 75%. But it's in the middle of the hood... on a black car... that's otherwise in great shape.

I want to level the touchup paint without taking away any/much of the surrounding paint/clear. I'm guessing, wet sanding is the answer... for someone who's got experience? But again - black, otherwise nice car... Will I make enough progress with my Flex DA polisher and a cutting compound/pad?

Thanks!

Before heavy compounding or wet sanding..you need a paint gauge. You may have or not have enough clear coat. If you don't have a paint gauge and can't obtain one.. live with the high spot. A seven year old car may not have enough clear left to sand.
