The transition can be softened with buffing but at the right angle under the sunlight, the line is still noticeable. That is why you never repair the hood this way. You coat the entire hood. This car is probably no longer new, so such a repair makes sense.

Would highly recommend getting a plastic piece from a junkyard and practicing on it first. I did the video thing above on my bumper and caused all kinds of problems (I mean me causing the problems from lack of experience). Then worked on my daughter's car bumper the following week and it came out great, similar to the video. Little things you learn of when to push the spray button on the can; to put on 2-3 very light coats first of any spray, let dry 5 minutes between each...then put on the heavier "wet" spray for the last coat. But not too much or it runs. Better I thought to let each "wet" coat dry overnight. Buy the higher cost sprays also, don't use anything cheap: another lesson I learned. I wrote down each step also then followed it. Rather enjoy doing this work now, did a friends 3 months later and he could not believe it was not done by a professional shop. Further note: I just used 180 grit and higher. 80 grit seemed to abrasive where I was fixing those scratches I caused with the 80 grit.

It's very very hard and time consuming work especially the sanding / wet-sanding part. Spraying is fun but sanding isn't. I have done refinishing my front bumper (the entire bumper and requires removal) in the past and took me 2 months to sand the damn thing, before and after painting. Sanding time will take up 90% of the entire process. If you use professional tools such as sand grinder with various sizes cutting pads it can cut down man hours by 1/2 but still pain in the ass. If you use 2K clear coat then you don't have to wet-sand after clear coat because it does pretty good job laying the clear down nice and flat, but you gotta have skillful hands to do it right. If you use 1k lacquer clear coat man you are in for tough luck cause you have to sand it again and again and again till it gets smooth. And if the clear you put on is too thin then you'll lose all your clear from sanding so you have to apply plenty of clear so this problem can be prevented. Don't try to save a few bucks on clear coat by getting those cheap 1k clear stuff just go with the 2K clear and you'll save yourself a lot of work.

He did a great job. But problems I have had attempting this that were out of my control: Paint can sprayed evenly but the paint can tended to spatter. The physical paint layer was even, but being metallic, the color was uneven even after extended and vigorous mixing. Clearcoat nozzle developed clogs resulting in uneven spray patterns and blotchy finish. Even with a clean garage and a tacky wipedown before clearcoating, you cannot avoid trash in the finish. Lastly, even in this video, there is an obvious difference in color between the original paint color and the sprayed area.

Warming the supplies and applying paint to a warm surface (80 - 100 F) will also go along way towards more longevity. Drying the surface area after, polishing and then protecting with a sealant will quadruple the lifespan. So there are many factors that increase the longevity of DIY Paint Jobs. It really is up to the individual to to their own due diligence that will yield the best results according to the region they live in.

You inspired me to fix the hole my wife put on the car I bought 1 week earlier. Started today. Rain got me and I left the car with the body filler to cure. Will continue tomorrow with sanding and applying more body filler on the hole cause I don’t think 1 round is enough. But already, it looks like new!

This is a great guide and I wish I'd seen it before I did a repair on one of my cars a few months ago. The biggest mistake I made was starting off with 80 grit instead of 180 and I did not use a 2k clear! At least I know now thanks.

My friend owns body shop, some customer came and ask how much cost job like this fender. Customer thought it was too expensive and he tried it self. Few week later he came with horrible mess on fender and said "ok, you can do it now" only problem it was much harder now to fix it because of that mess and it cost more, still agreed that higher cost. So after all it ended being much more expensive, those stuff customer bought and all extra work to get rid of that messy DIY fix.

Thanks Matt My oldest daughter's '17 A4 looks like iits front bumper area got keyed or something, over a larger area. I can't see it in person yet, because she does not live near me, but it looks deep. I told her that I'd fix it for her. She loves her car, and is upset. Every one tells me I can't fix it, and that I' m just wasting my time. I'm a little hesitant, but I enjoy proving people wrong when the doubt my abilities.

Gotta ask: Since there was no apparent damage above the panel crease, why extend your sanding and painting into that area above the crease? You could have easily thumbed-off the body filler you got on that area and taped/papered-off that part of the panel. Natural crease would provide a less noticeable seam for paint matching, too.
