Wet sanded through clear coat, fix?
New here, was attempting to remove scratch with wet 3000 grit, sanded it a few strokes and I believe i've gone too far.
At this point, how screwed am I and what are my options?
Thank you guys.

The only real fix is a repaint as you have gone through the clear.

Repaint the clear coat on that section? Or the whole panel

The body shop will blend the area (paint + clear) that is damaged to the area that is not damaged.

And that was on a body line/curve which is thin in paint... yup off to the body shop.

You can use touch up paint, will not look as good as a respray, but a hell of a lot cheaper.

Touch up paint, and clear coat, correct?

I have to say bud, that was more than a few strokes to do that with 3000 grit.
From wet sanding and using a paint thickness guage whilst doing it, you get an idea how far you can go, and you've went far!
To fully fix that damage will need a re-spray sadly.

I agree it Def looks like more than a few strokes lol. Maybe a few hundred. Either way that's unfortunate and I'm sorry to see that happened , Def needs a respray
