Before trying to we sand it and why try to sand off paint transfer?
Try a eraser wheel you can get them at and autobody shop.
They go on your drill .
first remove this transferred paint first then reevaluate, wet sanding could still be needed.

But to me it looks dented too.

1000 is a bit rough for a beginner. I'd start with 1500, then 2000, then polishing compound. It may not go away completely, but it can be improved.

At least 95% of that can be buffed off in just a few minutes with a fine finishing compound. No need to sand. After you buff the house paint off and fine scratches, you may need to do a little sanding with some 2000 for the deeper scratches and then rebuff those areas but most likely simply buffing is going to achieve good enough results you will be happy with it. Whatever you do, do not apply touchup paint to all of that. It will be a mess if you do.

Have a good detailer polish it out, if possible. DO NOT try "touch up" paint on anything this big. Guarantee it would look horrible. other than that, repainting the whole panel is really the only other viable option.
