    What can I do to fix this??? Will sanding it down and repainting it get rid of all the scratches? What do you suggest? I have done other interior painting this past week that turned out great, but this piece looks like hell! Help!!!!!

    I vote go to the junkyard and get one for $5. You'll spend that much on sandpaper alone. and the over spray on the shift boot.....

    i cant see the pics, but if theres heavy sand marks, u will need to gradually go up with sandpapers. 800, 1000, 1500, 2000

    going from a super low grit to a super high grit wont do anything
