Do i need to get a pro to do this, or can I tackle it myself? There's a few (10-15) small chips on the paint. It is a solid color, (not metallic) so my touch up paint does not have any clear coat. A friend told me I should put some, then with 2000-2500 grit sandpaper and lots of water, sand the blob of paint down to the level of the paint surface, and then polish with a polishing compound. I DON"T wanna make this any worse...it sounds pretty scary, but is this the best way to do it? Don't know how much the pros would charge, but if it is a DIY, I'm willing to try. Any experience out there appreciated.
