Need help blending!

Alright So I took of the horrible looking pin striping off my brothers cobalt.
Now I took off all the adhesion with 3m adhesion remover... Wonderful product btw. But now what looks to be a mess. They taped of the pin striped and painted over it. So when I went ahead and took of the pin strip you can see two tones of paint....But in a pin stripped marking lol.



My idea was to wet sand it with 2000,3000,4000 then use v34-v38 would that be good? Just trying to blend it and get rid of that "step" of paint.

Sorry for the late reply, I just now found your thread...

Since you're just trying to blend the different visual appearances together so there's less of a stark contrast, sanding and buffing should work pretty well.

I'd say stick to the #3000 and if you have #4000 (Mirka Abralon?), then finish out with it and then compound and polish.

Thank you for the reply. I will definitely do wet sanding by hand. But I just picked up 3000 grit. Hopefully it will do the trick. Thanks for the advice!
