Any thing you can feel will show up like dogs balls. Putty it over a larger area, guide coat it. You can get 250 grade paper for a large speed file, give it a go with that. I had a very tiny wave in a panel and had to putty, undercoat and file it 3 times before it was impossible to see with water on it! Some panels just test you.
Any panel/paint Expert wanna be my MSN mentor?
