Question for you paint experts!! HELP!

I am the 2nd owner of a 04' PW/PW and it appears that the previous owner has used some mother of pearl nailpolish or something similar to cover some chipping in the front of the bonnet and bumper. For one, the color doesn't match, for two, the paint is "textured" and lumpy. It's like little blobs of paint that don't even cover the blemishes.

Now I have heard of the "wet-sanding" method, although I am unsure as to the proper procedure, what matierials needed, and preperation.

I know that I can order a paint pen that will cover the "normal" chipping, however, these will need to have the paint/polish/whateverthehellitis removed from it prior to finishing.

Any suggestions, or can someone out there explain the wet-sand method as it would pertain to this particular situation?

Cead Mille Failte!!!
