In the past I used a file and it worked great for me, but many seem to be using sandpaper so I figured I'd give it a try. But when I use sandpaper, the area around the nub gets all scratched up as well, something I didn't have a problem with using a file. (Or rather, the file covered up the area around the nub better, and doesn't leave ugly scratch marks.) Help, anyone?
What you want to do is file it down with the sandpaper and be gentle.
Go 1 direction...not back and forth.

It'll leave scratch marks, which you will fill in and smooth out with paints.

So sand, clean it up, primer, paint, top coat.
