wet sand with a DA at 220 grit and work your way up to 400-600. then 2 coats of primer, sand some more,,2 coats of factory match paint, 2 coats of clearcoat. then wash and wax. maybe some rubbing compound too. nothing 500 bucks can't fix.

First of all, we're going to need higher resolution pictures.
Second of all, you're going to have to tell us make and model of the car.
Then, apparently, you could just buff it out.

1. Sue the car company for not installing a Rear view camera to prevent this
2. Masterbate Furiously
3. ???

Did the photoshop, too bad the car wasn't washed. Fixed the side

edit: Why can't there be a real life PhotoShop or just a really handy undo button?

take it to a body shop and get it done properly if you want it to look like OEM again

sometimes the dumplings there are really bad too, so i usually end up mashing them into a paste and eating said paste on bread.
