The only thing I know is to SAND. Take the fenders off, radiator support, brake booster, etc. Remove the inner fenders from the fenders/frame....everything. Then start sanding, and sand, and sand. Make it all smooth, feather all the edges of the rough spots, then prime, sand, prime again, sand again, and paint
On the Really rough spots-use 80 grit, then 120, then 180, then prime, then 180 the rough spots, prime, then 220, prime, then 400, at this point touch up any spots with primer, then 600. Then PAINT. Sweet!!

A faster way is to use a paint stripper. Don't know if you have Stipsoll there.
