Sand it down, spray it properly then lacquer it.

Until it's smooth.

Depends on how good a job you do. If you t-cut the area, then sand, paint, then t-cut before lacquering it should look quite good. (You t-cut before lacquering to get it all the same colour before you permanently cover it with lacquer.)
