Driver side body touchup.. Help!
Ill post before and after pics. It looks pretty good along the bottom but as soon as it goes over the top of the wheel well/ rear fender. It looks like the wrong color. Is there any way i can fix this abit? I went around the front fender, along bottom of door and box as well.
Befor  After  And Heres The Problem..  Is there any way i can fix this without painting again?

Re: Driver side body touchup.. Help!
sorry just being honest,it's ashame cause i can see the prep that went into it,but the color is a mile off,always paint a bit of random metal and hold it against first

Re: Driver side body touchup.. Help!
Try wet sanding it, but I dont believe its going to match if you have clear coated paint going against uncleared paint. If you can blend it in with wet sand and clear it, it may may or come close. Overall though it looks alot better than it did before

Re: Driver side body touchup.. Help!
yup def clearcoat it but before that wet sand with 1200 to loose the edge,once u have done that wet sand back from the repair a good 30/40cm,no when u remask go a further 30/40 cm back from where you have wet sanded,put a light coat of clear on,then 2 heavier coats,but dont paint upto the masking only upto where you sanded
