Yay my DIY came to use... w00t!!!!11

How do u make it so the touch up looks like the rest of the car.
We've mine you can tell the difference. You i just it a car n polish or buff it out.
The touch up looks bigger than the original surrounding, dont tell me i have to sand it and repaint?

where is the rust mate?
can u ost a pic

[jdmcivic]

its on the wheel arch

[aimre]

so its like mine.

what i did (notice in the pic) was mask and paint the area only until the fold.
So that diffrenece u will see between the paints is very minimal as the fold would cause a change n e ways.
Thats the best way for that area, as its only noticible on close inspection (infact ive pointed it out to ppl and they only see it once up close)

The oner thing you can do it not mask it and sorta blend the orrig paint and old paint, i dont recoment that (i did that with my rear bumper) its ok but there is a slight diffrence visible

Nearly all my rear bar is painted from a can

For that area, use the fold as the edge

NOTE:
the bits on the right of the bar, arent diffreneces in paint, but reflection of trees.

the right side of the bar its more obvious (ie coloured scratches and the surface is slightly more matt)
