Try to sand the lip down to where it no longer catches a fingernail. Then move up to 2000 and 3000 grit papers, then cutting compounds, and finally polishing compounds. If it's a small area, you can cut/polish by hand. If larger area, see if you can rent a buffer or invest in a cheaper "consumer grade" buffer for $150 or so. If you sand through clear - STOP! You don't want to sand through the color! Just spray a little more clear over the area and you can sand some more. Eventually it will become smooth. | |

The paint colour looks like it matches but there is almost a raised lip where the new paint is. Over time this became even more noticeable as fragments of dust highlighted the rise. | |

Repeated a line, removed.

Edited for structuring, grammar and brevity.
