Blending in the paint...not so good of a job - DetailCity.org

Demontooth · 08-11-2005, 10:35 PM

A spot on my car has shown up where someone obviously tried to paint the quarter panel and didn't do a very good job. When they tried to blend in the paint you can really tell. How would I go about cleaning that up...if possible. Here's a picture I tried to take of it, but it's hard to get a picture because you can only see the spot in just the right light.

Here's another picture...it's harder than hell to catch this spot in the right light to get a pic

That's the most orange peel I've ever seen, you'll need to wetsand that down and polish it out with a rotary or some ScratchX to minimise it. It might actually blend well once it's sanded.
