Default Center Console/Gauge Console question

Ok .. so i painted my whole center console and gauge console two colors. However, i really fked them up. I guess the sand paper i was using was to high of a grit and i was in a hurry and didnt let the paint settle long enough. So now i have deep scracthes and fingerprints .

So now my questions are ... Is there a way to srip the paint fully from the paint i painted on there? And also what can i use to fill in those scratches? I wanna repaint this ****.

just sand it off with 220 grit or 400 grit, then gradually move down to about 1000 grit. then clean it off, use a primer, then the color and clear. take your time it will pay off in the end.

Primer is your friend... always use it before you paint and will see your blemishes.

it is easy if you just take your time . No matter what project you do on cars you can never be in a hurry . So it takes you longer than 1 day . The finished product will be something you are happy with and cant wait to show off !
