This car has a coat of primer over the original two tone SA paint and the paint underneath is worn, but so much better than the primer.

I have two questions. Flat surfaces are easy, convex surfaces are easy, but what do you do about concave surfaces like around the wheel?

Also, what can I do to "attempt" to bring the original paint back? Wet sand? Compound?

I know it's still gonna look like ****, but it will actually look better than gray primer.

After I try to bring the paint back, I MAY leave it that way.

Here are some pix...

The way your paint just rolled off is the opposite of mine, mine was like a extremely dry? paint job and flaked off with the blade.

It's the primer that I'm sure was added recently is what rolls off. The original paint is intact.
