Hey guys,

Need some advice/info on how to merge existing paint with new paint without painting the whole part(ie entire door).

Bought some aerosol cans; I have my primer, paint to match and my clear coat all ready to go. I'm working on paint damage(paint peeled off), and it's smack in the middle of my door. There isn't any dent or rust, only the car paint & clear coat came off(primed surface was left). It's about an inch or two wide. I've already prep the surface and it's almost completely smooth, I sanded the area of the damage and half a cm or so outwards of that.

So, heres what I need to know:

How do I merge my car paint + clear coat with my current paint job?

Step by step instructions would be appreciated.

eg. "Spray past damage area with car paint by 1 cm, then spray past painted area with clear coat by 1 cm."

Thanks guys.

well, if your colour car is a metallic colour, good luck, no matter what you do you wont match it properly.

if its a normal colour, you would best go over 1cm to merge the colour, otherwise your going to have this circle of where youve sprayed, best way to do it is flicking the spray can from left to right to get a little bit of paint everywhere, so it evens out better.

with cans you wont ...under normal spray conditions you need to cut original paint back to its proper colour at least 150mm past any damaged and primer ,,,each coat must overlap the last one edge by about 25/30 mm but dont use heavy application ..when all is covered you then use colour thinners and i mean just coloured to blend in the edges on your last coat ,dont use heavy applications just a misty spray ,,when dry gentle cut to bring up shine ...most spray cans are not the same colour

I previously sprayed my D-wing in black..

Black is hard to get RIGHT!

Got it colour matched by Autobarn.

TIPS i found handy.

- Put the spray can in Hot water from the tap (not boiling water) for about 10mins prior spraying. this makes the paint easier to get out of those little spray nozzles.

- Shake the can for atleast 2 mins. swirling it around, upside down, side to side, up and down. (I masturbate a lot, so i was pretty good at it) JUST KIDDING!

- Practice on a bare metal surface, practice until you are confident to give it a go. I practiced atleast 5 times.

- Slow and steady wins the race, Prep work is your number ONE key to your final result. Good prep = Good Final Result.

- Spray according to the spray pattern of the nozzle, either Vertical or Horizontal. if it has a Vertical Spray patter, spray side to side. Some nozzles you can change.

- Get a 80% thinner plus base paint in a can. Autobarn can make this up for you too. Use that for a final coat.

- Once finished let it cure for atleast 24hrs before touching. Even if its a quick dry type paint. Then use a light cut and polish to bring up shine.

- If you have Orange Peel ( Little lumps like on an orange skin) you may need to use wet and dry paper, 1500 grit min...don't go lower. take your time with this, you don't want to paint it again. Also put some detergent in the water to let it glide easier.

Good Luck with it all.

No your not...

- Practice on a bare metal surface, practice until you are confident to give it a go. I practiced atleast 5 times.

Masturbating on a bare metal surface, sounds painful, And no way you can do it 5 times,not in a row anyway

- Slow and steady wins the race, Prep work is your number ONE key to your final result. Good prep = Good Final Result.

Yeah dont want to do it too hard and fast the end result is never as good, have your lube ready and all your favourite porn sites open, and dont forget the tissues, nothing worse than having nowhere to jizz

- Spray according to the spray pattern of the nozzle, either Vertical or Horizontal. if it has a Vertical Spray patter, spray side to side. Some nozzles you can change.

I know what you mean man, i wake up some mornings after a hard night out and spray all over the floor, sometimes it goes in 2 directions which is awkward,especially when your at someone elses house and it goes on your pants as well

- Get a 80% thinner plus base paint in a can. Autobarn can make this up for you too. Use that for a final coat.

Your getting way to kinky for me now :wub:

Good Luck with it all.

I couldnt help myself... :wub:

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
