Question -
i painted a small portion of the car's body but the newly painted part is very noticeable from the untouched portion (part where both paint meet). Is there a way to blend the newly painted one with the old paint?
Answer -
Hello, and thank you for your question! I need more information. Did you use professional car paint and a spray gun, or did you use a rattle can? Where exactly did you do the repair? Did you do a spot job, or refinish an entire panel? I'm happy to help, I just need info. Get to me here in the next hour, and I will have an answer tonight. Bill
Hello Bill,
Thanks for the prompt reply, i painted a small portion (spot job) with deep scracthes on the right side part of the car. I used a spray gun and a car paint(not sure though if it is a professional car paint)
Again - Thanks

AnswerOkay, it sounds like you know how to use a spray gun. You need to do a color blend on both panels, then clear coat both panels completely. 1. Scuff both panels to be painted with a grey scotch brite. 2. Purchase base coat color from an automotive paint store, as well as clear coat and any hardner and reducers it will need. 3. You are going to only paint the base coat color in the area of the repair. DO NOT color coat to the ends of the panels. DO NOT apply base coat shiny or glossy. It needs applied very corn cobby, almost dry. Arc the spray gun out at the ends of your passes, and stagger the overlap. each new coat should extend just a little beyond the previous coat. You only color the panel half or three quarters of the way across, then you clear the entire panels 30 minutes after the last coat of base color. In a nutshell, fan the gun in an arc, don't color the entire panels, do clear entire panels. This is how the pro's do it! If you need any more help. feel free to ask! Thanks, Bill
