Pick the best front and paint the other three sides black or camo.

Or

Bury it and call it a pond.

Problem solved.

WHen you sanded did you push hard or did you just run it across til is glided?

 

[midnight]

at first,i push harder to get the deep scratches,then lighter and lighter.

I had the same problem too... but its starting to look a lot better than it did before.

1. sand the scratch with 1500grit till smooth then sand it with 2000grit to make the scratches even smaller you can even goto 2500grit if you want
2. using a detail sander, wrap the bottom with a polish cloth and rubberband that sucker to it
3. squeeze NOVUS #2 on the cloth and apply it onto the sanded area with the sander off
4. start the sander, put pressure on it and let the magic work!
