Sure you can wetsand it, but youll need at least 2000 grit and a good cutting compound to get it to look decent.

For the really good ones, head over to a local automotive paint store. Otherwise, you can pick some up at places like autozone or pepboys. Don't forget to pick up some polish while youre at it.
