How exactly is this done ?
I.E , say you had a small area you repaired (for example the b pillar cracks) , and it needed sprayed.
How could it be done without having to do the whole panel ?

so long as the paint hasnt faided then its possible as u cut back the edges of the paint join to get it to blend. its alot of effort tho!

How exactly would you do this ?
If you were to mask off say a square area , there would be a definite spray line ...

I asked my mate the exaxt same question, because surely even when flicking in paint you need to sand this area down........but you cant polisbly blend in paint to a sanded area, you bound to overlap onto fresh laquer??
I think so anyway, he couldn't grasp what i was getting at and im non the wiser........
If you get the paint right and maybe ease off on the paint an laquer as you get nearer the masked area, should be easy to machine polish in with the old paint id imagine........so it sort of fades in......

and yeah you can also spray the laquer to a certain point then polish it out ! but wouldnt do it across a large area..just areas like up the pillars and stuff
and u rub the full area your laquering with a scotch brite, then once u laquer it ...it all comes back up shiny

overspray the colour over the repair, and then spray the lacquer upto a panel join, or swage line, anything to hide the slight colour difference. its all about tricking the eye and brain into thinking the colour is the same and its just the way the light is reflecting off it that is making it look wrong
