vandalised paintwork

I hate painting/spraying/preparation and am absolutely rubbish at it, which is the reason
I hate it. Having had attention paid to my black range rover by the local unsupervised artists,
I bought a Halfords three bottle touch-in kit.I used the "special tool" to scrub the areas and then
went on to the primer and built it up to the paint level. I then used the "special tool" to flat the
primer off which did absolutely diddley. I bought a sheet of 1000 wet n dry and flatted the areas
off. I tried using the paint brush in the finish bottle which was akin to a spider's leg. In short,
I've got a load of botched up patches with a periphery of flatted off original black. I've done a search
on painting, but I need someone to get me out of jail with some out and out basics.The areas vary between
1mm and 8/9mm and between 50cm and 110cm in length. Please can you guys help me out? regards all. P.S

Pete, why don't you ring one of them mobile touch up guys will cost you about £50 but they do a pucka job, and will do your stone chips on the front of your Landy if you have any too

Went about it that way. Approached two such bods. They produced a guage like card thing and my damage was outside their parameters. The more research I did the more it seemed I needed a body man. I went to my local guy who just didn't want the job unless it was a re paint. You guys have come up trumps in the detailed postings received[I posted twice as I wasn't sure of the correct forum] on the general thread. Thanks and regards P.S
