very carefully feather the paint in, as long as it is a good colour match it should come up very nicely. I did the arches so they are mega visible and you cant tell!
Good luck mate and let us know how you get on! It was my first time painting such a high profile area and i was more than happy with the results.. I thought to myself it needs respraying but if i can do it on the cheap then im only loosing the cost of a few Halfords aerosols!
cheers pal big help, sum twat reversed past my front end an scraped my cossie front bumper my front fogs have already been niicked so now it looks even worse
.
ill give it a blast tho, im pretty good at picking things up the only thing is like wat u said with the paint match, i fell out with the lad that sprayed it 4 me so im gona have to find a proper paint supplier ive been told they can match the paint perfect.
Thanks again fella
p.s what do you mean by feather the paint on lol i no im a total bigginer
