I feel like I'm asking stupid questions here, but I am in need of advice for making spot paint repairs on the 914.. If I could afford to have the whole car painted, I would, but this is where I'm at, to stop and fix rust bubbles and major paint cracks.
This is what I'm dealing with: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081276.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i260.photobucket.com-9714-1378081277.7.jpg) My plan was to go down to aplace in San Diego that can make color matched paint (I have not idea what this yellow is) and have 3 or 4 aerosol cans of yellow made up, and attempt to feather and blend these areas in... Anyone have advice or things I should be careful of before I go about attempting this? Thanks, Ethan |
