Painting a New Fender and Color Blending
This is a Dodge Caliber that has had a new OEM fender installed. The door has been prepped for a blend by scuffing with a grey pad with a paste. The fender has been prepped with 400 and a red scotch pad. Since I am using a direct to e-coat sealer I didn`t even need to sand it but did anyhow.
The replacement fender is first taped off and a urethane sealer (primer) is applied to give it a proper mil thickness to prevent chipping and other adhesion problems. While the sealer was flashing off I applied an orientation coat to the door to make blending a tad easier. After about 20 minutes from applying the primer to the fender I begin the color coats. They are applied until covered and brought out a bit further with each coat to fade it into the door.
Once I am happy with the coverage and blend the clear coat is applied, 2 wet coats with 5-10 minutes between coats.
