And over-brushing can be a no-no. It requires a lot of patience. Mine came out looking bad, too, so you are not alone.
#1024 of 1025 Front Facia Repair by hammer2000 Nov 12, 2009 (9:54 am)
I have a mustang with a low hanging front facia (black) that is scrapped (hit a concrete parking space block). It has a few minor gouges and scraps. I'd like to avoid taking it into the shop, so can it be fixed by hand? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 12, 2009 10:06 am)

It's possible you could do the body work part and then take it somewhere to be painted. I don't know your skill level, or the year/condition of your car, so it's hard to advise you.   If there are any serious cracks, that's a big problem. You should also price out a new piece and compare that to all the hassle.
