yes may give that a go

flat back with 1000 grit then blast with halfords lacquer ?

never played with paintwork!

Yep that is exactly what i did with my rear panel between the boot and bumper. Obviously stop as soon as you start getting red on the paper. You will end up with a line around the area where you have flatted back but once you build up a few layers, it will disappear then leave to dry for a few days and flat back and polish.
