OMG - I can't believe what I have done to my bonnet

Today was the first day I could work on the car. I took some photos of the road rash on the bonnet.

I read the instructions which tell you to smear the paint on the road rash, which I did

I have seen other posts where the poster says they feel nervouse at this stage - I certainly did! In fact, I was so nervous, I used a cloth with the removing liqued after 30 seconds.

I could not believe the excess paint would not remove

Why it will not remove I don't know - I made sure I did this early in the morning so it was cool. I even made sure the sun was behind clouds when I applied it! I only waited 30 seconds before removing the excess!

I can't believe I have ruined my bonnet!

I guess the only way to proceed now is to sand the excess off then polish the surface to get the shine back - but I don't have a polisher. So it looks like I will now have to spend £200 on a polisher to fix this

So, if you are going to smear the paint over your road rash, be really careful - I followed the instructions to the letter and have been left with a disaster!
