Greetings ya'll
I have a '07 Tacoma and I've decided to do something to correct all the problems with my paint. First off the issues: was keyed a long time ago and never repaired the damage, the 3m rock guard on the rear fenders is cracked and nasty looking (pretty sure I'll know how to correct that), nicks and scratches all over the truck.
I'd like to go and repair all the problems then brighten up the paint but wasn't sure of what the order should be and was looking for suggestions or other threads that can help.
The order of operation I'm thinking is: repair scratches / remove and replace 3m guards on fenders > paint fill those areas > time delay > compound the paint > seal everything with a clear coat > wax

Hope everyone is staying safe.
