Hi mate, you need to block the runs out useing 1000 grade paper if there quite bad. Then using a 1500 disc on a sander, sand all the orange peal out. What colour is it mate? if its silver, just mop up using G3 compound and then go over with G10.

Where are you based mate? if its anywhere near me (northants) i could give you a hand.

it has been sprayed white, do i need to wet sand it till the paint is all level (orange peel gone altegether?)

then get rubbing compound onto it?

If your flatting buy hand, use a block with 1500 wet and dry, use this wet. Than your compound with a polishing machine.
