Hi, I'm a newbie and this post is not going to put me in a good light. I've just rubbed down an entire hallway's worth of gloss - doors, door-frames and skirting - with P60. All I needed was a key, and, as a first coat of eggshell has made all too apparent, I've ended up with scratches all over the place, like an ice-rink nearing the end of its useful life. As some of you may be keen to point out, this qualifies as an act of bona fide idiocy. However, on a more constructive note, is there anything I can do? To make matters worth, it's my mother-in-law's house :oops:
 
Sand again with 120 grade then if you want a really good finish again with 240 the trick is to always sand in the direction of the grain.
A proper oil based undercoat has more body than primer or top coat so will have a small "leveling" effect on the surface, worth trying a small area to see if it gets you out of trouble
