Default Re: Paint Blending

Thanks for your kind replies, as well as the much needed insight, I was thinking that it I lightly sanded an area as big as you mentioned to rough up the paint for better adhesion, then wen't to a pro. body shop and had them match the color for me I could give the repair area four thin coats, then lightly over mist the entire sanded area drawing back as i reached the edges so as to blend the paint colors better, this is my first time doing anything like this, and initially I was thinking of having it done, but I want to be able to say "hey look what I did" and (hopefully) have people not be able to see where the car was patched.
