Lol. So i was being clever and thought i repaint my rear taillight cover ..since they are very faded and slight over spray
i sanded it down with 400p with water .. and spray/wipe with SEM promotor. Then with SEM trim black.
1 side came out good. Acceptable by my standards
The other came out like it had cancer
so.. i tried to fix it. Sanded it some more but with no water .. all went down hill from there. Long story short. I got frustraded and used a heavier grid because the more i sand the more the grooves popup. So i though i use a heavy grid to get rid of all the paint !! And redo it. ....what a good idea that was. ;( now the piece is so rough it looks like a meatgrinder. And with black paint it looks like its got stage 3 syphilis if thats even a thing....
pros. I need your help lol

Lmaooo stage 3 syphilis . Sounds obvious but have you stepped down from the heavy grit to a fine grit before you sprayed it? Also, they sell self etching primer that helps level the playing field before a top coat you could always try. Worst case you waste $5 trying...
I wouldn't recommend using bondo on a plastic part. I believe I have one of those panels in my stash. I will get one out for you if you want to try again.
I got it fixxed by light sanding with water . Cleaned it with the promotor... ( i made a mistake by cleaning with break cleaner lol what a mess that made ) tried few more light coats and it came oout pretty good. Matching the rest of interior color pretty well.
but wont hurt to get a extra set to keep trying
