Default Wet sand

I fixed some chips and Wet sanded down but, I sanded to much on one bump and went through the clear and now I see primer. I did this at night... I know I am an idiot but I have OCD and had to get those paint bumps off. What can I do other than have it painted and the whole fender cleared-$225. Is ther an easy fix that will look good? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What did you wet sand with and how did you do it? Primer's fairly deep. Maybe you are seeing sanding haze and mistaking it for primer on your white finish.

Read through this writeup on wet sanding and post pics

This is not primer -- if you see this you're still okay:




It turned out like this:

I didn't do it, but that's the holy grail of wet sanding for me. The pics (and full write-up) are from the link I posted 3-4 posts up.

I wet sanded GPW so my scuff marks are hard to see but where I sanded to far is gray and looks wavey from an angle. I would post pics but I have not tryied it before and am not sure how.

Guests can't post pictures unless they have an external host for them. If you email them to me I can post them for you.
