Paint Touch Up Advice Needed

[Black33]

Hey,

I had someone try to buff out a scratch in my car and it came out alright, but it looks like they got a bit excited and buffed too hard!

I think the paint (only in a very small area, prob area of a 5c coin sort of in an oval shape) has been buffed back to undercoat.

The car is black and it's not very noticeable but I wanted to know what the options are.

It's on the rear qtr above the wheelarch - how can i fix this?

I'm happy to pay to get it done, Is there a way that a spray painter/panel beater can spray the area lightly (like an area of about a 20c coin around it a little).

Let it dry well and then come back and cut and polish it to blend it into the existing???

Please help (sorry that was so long)!!

thanks

Ring up some panel shops and ask. I've never had much luck with getting any of them to fix up small bits like that, they always want to re-spray the whole quarter and blend the paint in. Which is a fair call, apparently it's impossible to patch up metallic paint in such a small area and get it to be unnoticable. Since yours is black it might be easier to blend in.

black33 it can be done but u'll always see it and as time goes on it will get worse and if u try to buf it it will get worse .

the proper way to do it is to paint the whole panel .
