Yes, you will able to if you put a lot of work into. I had a bad experience when I was like 17 with a buffer, and it scared me away from them for a while. I had very nice paint job on my Z28 back then (color sanded buffed professionally) and someone ran into my dr side fender in a parking lot. Being tight on cash I painted it myself. It was black so color matching wasn't a issue, but my sprayed finish stuck out like a sore thumb compared to the adjacent hood and door. Being that I had burned through some spots on a truck I had, I wasn't about to put the buffer on my Camaro. I color sanded and hand buffed that fender to match the rest of the car. I had several hours work on that one fender, but I rubbed it out perfect, so I know its doable, but it is kinda a PITA!
