I'm painting my own car and some of the lines are screwed. Anyone have any good tips on how to get them all straight again? Someone said skim it with putty and use masking tape but I'm not sure how?

Do you mean you want to try to take the "waves" out of the body panels. Primer surfacer is the way to go, lots of work but great results.

I mean the lines like on the fenders and such where there should be a straight sharp line but someone got carried away with the sander before and there are dips in them and they aren't sharp.

Hello,
I used this product with great results. I used the 410 micro filler mixed in the epoxy. Here's a website http://www.westsystem.com/

I have the stuff I'm going to use, I just need to know if anyone has a good tip to make the lines themselves nice and straight and sharp.

I would use a guide coat that is sprayed or applied charcoal dust and apply it to the filler. As you sand it off you can see the lines easily and you will be able to tell if it is straight or not. 3M makes the powdered charcoal in a tub with an applicator pad and it is easy to use and won't clog the sandpaper. It is available at any autobody supply store. Good Luck, Craig
