Hey guys.
Many of you know but I have some pretty rough paint on my car. The previous owner had a rough ex-wife who took a hatchet to the front headlight/fender. I fixed it last year but two things went wrong. First the previous owner had it sprayed a random metalic custom color that his buddy mixed making it extremely difficult to match with spray cans. I also had an issue and the paint cracked.
So my question is what would you guys recommend I do in the mean time to temporarily fix it before I get the car painted? Try to match it again and live with the close enough look? Or do a wider area and paint some type of stripe across the front in like a flat black? Just curious if anyone has some great idea. For me, I’m leaning towards the close enough paint match but every time I get it in the primer faze it just looks so nice.
All ideas greatly appreciated!
