I applaud you for making arrangements to replace that quarter. You won’t be sorry, we are fortunate enough to see a quarter replaced using new technology. We’ll all be smarter.

  • @fix206
    @fix206 4 місяці тому +4

    Ben already has the spotter tool and the basic sheet metalworking skills, with a bit more time/practice he could've salvaged that quarter panel.
    Matching that Matte White actually is pretty simple. Most important part is obviously getting the white undertone as close as possible. Then you just use the clearcoat that you would normally use and add a matting agent. I was nervous first time I did it but then quickly realized that you can't really mess it up unless you sag or run the clear.
    Also some suggested repainting the whole car a different color... That would be a TON of work to do it right, because then you'd have to paint the insides of the doors, underside of trunk lid, underside of the hood and also get the door jams, trunk area and engine bay repainted (last one would require engine to be pulled). Much easier and cheaper to just color match the replacement panel...
    P.S. that spotter tool is a must for sheet metal work the only downside is it is pretty expensive... However, just about anyone can easily build one out of some microwave transformers. I built mine few years ago for dirt cheap. I did a very detailed video on that build on my channel. If anyone is interested check it out and build yourself one, you'll be glad you did 😉
