    agreed. Use a dremel to get it close, and use the palm sander to get it the rest of the way. If you want to go with the oem style wrinkle paint, advanced auto sells black wrinkle paint that looks almost exactly like the oem finish.

    You could use dremel to get down, but I used big grits sand papers at first and smaller grits near the end to get it flat and smooth. I believe palm sander will be much much faster over everything else since it sands big area at a time.
