It looks like you painted it white in a white room with a white floor with a white polar bear sitting on the roof juggling white ***** while smoking a smokeless, flameless, white cigarette, dressed in a white tux with white tie, shoes, etc.

Wow bro...ummm

I think wetsanding and buffing are the least of your concerns. You don't even have a rough uniform color. Buffing and wetsanding won't fix that.

Are you using a basecoat with no clearcoat?

That's what it looks like you're trying to do

If you didn't primer it, you need to strip it all off, primer it and then recoat it. That's probably why it looks uneven, and if you didn't primer, it's going to chip and flake off really easy.

id say sand it, reprime, repaint then wetsand with some 1500-2000 grit. thes a harsh paint job man. my primer is less splotchy and its out of a can.

painting takes alot of practice. maybe its a good thign that you fucked it up so now this time around it may be better.

good luck.......

Looks like crap. Wetsanding will not help by itself. After you wetsand, you should shoot on a coat or two of clear, then wetsand again.
