Anybody have an idea how to solve this without a sandblaster? Paint was going to go on tomorrow.

 

Laquer thinner should take off the excess. Don't worry about removing all of it. Just go over what is there.

smooth the edges and spray it... thinner may help but may affect the primer.

 

This is a perfect example of why you should invent the time machine before starting a Jeep project.
