Spraying Rear Quarter - Pls Help!

[gtstii]

If I need to get my rear quarter panel sprayed to get rid of some scratches, I was wondering how this is done.

Because of the design of the r33's (and all skylines) there is not actual join where the spray can stop cos the panel continues onto the roof and all over to the oher side of the car.

How is this done, would they stop somewhere and try to "blend" it into the orig paint?

Has anyone had this done? If so, how does it look?

Surely this doesn't mean tht half of the car needs to be sprayed to fix one quarter Panel!!!??

Okay yes they do blend it in that is one of the most common ways to do it and the best looking in one way or another. Depends on what colour the car is as well as over time paint fades etc which would show up on a black car for example. Most cases the darker the car the worse it will show up. With white cars its usally very hard to spot it.

ummmmmm, my car is black - is that bad then?

[Guest RedLineGTR]

over time we are talking over a couple years 2-3 or so depends how much time it spends in the hot sun. Its not bad that your car is black just its more possible for it to turn up (no spray painter can guarantee) it could or it might not be visible. They usually spray most of the rear quarter panel eg. half the car they usally stop before they get to the roof section.

Keeping your car out of the hot sun when parking etc also helps and keeping it polished and waxed up helps protect it abit.

Personally a silver car would be more of a problem hence the fact they have multiple colours etc in the silver paint which is almost impossible to match perfectly, which usally can show up after the spray has been done with a silver car blend if you look carefully.

thanks heaps - should be ok, my car sits in a garage and is always kept well clean / polished so the orig paint is in good condition except for a few scratches here!

[Guest RedLineGTR]

depends how big the scratches are abit of touch up paint and maybe a light cut would help. Talk to your spray painter etc see what they have to say. They would be the best people to talk to about the effects of blending, since they do it to most cars

How bout this dilemma,

Youve just had ure entire car resprayed in a nice silver/blue pearl. 2 days later, the person that lives next door, reverses into your rear 1/4.

Now, do you just get the rear 1/4 done, or, do u get both rear 1/4s done as well as the roof, as this will leave no blending marks.

I wasn't impressed to say the least.

Dude sorry to hear that. I was speaking to the guys where u got the paint job done (in penrith). Were u happy with the result?

If I were u I would be speaking to the guys that did your paint job and get their opinion. If its not too bad then u might be lucky and they will blend it. But either way i would be making the neighbour pay for it.

FK oath they'll be paying...the dude said he would, so ill give him a call tomorrow with the quote...better not cause me problems...meh anyway...

Ive actually been away since i got my car back and havn't gone thru *everything* yet. Ive given it a quick look over and its been great. Top work done by Trev and I'd easily say hes been the best sprayer ive dealt with (both quality craftsmanship and attitude/personality etc). Ill be dropping it off there tomorrow so if ure close, go down and take a look....If not i can email u pics that ive taken (not the best, but may give u an idea...). I'd go back without a doubt and all future cars ill put through him as well.

three weeks ago some f*** keyed my rear qtr... cant fix with cut n polish.. it is through the paint im not sure whether it is worth getting it sprayed...what is a round about price for getting that area sprayed?

[predator]

$300 - $500 i've heard people getting it done for. Depends who you go to of course.

[siksII]

sounds about right.

im planning on getting my front bar, mirrors, rear bar, and now maybe rear quarter done. freshen it up, and i scraped my front car which is the main reason

What colour is your car? i need some bits done and if its the same colour as mine we could get it cheaper together.
