IDK about the skill part, wetsanding has pretty much nothing to it, sand till all the orangepeel is gone and then buff w/ some rubbing compound and glaze, I've had friends/my gf wetsand before and never ran into a problem, just watch out for the edges and you'll be fine. Also, I would start off with either 1000 or 1500, its gonna take forever with 2K.
