  • HI! im doug, i put things up my ass!

  • he may have blended the colour from right to left on one panel but what about the front wing and the rest of the door ie top and bottom. theese will have old and new paint colours right next to each other

  • Expertvillage you need to stop wasting everyone time and stop these stupid short videos.

  • another useless expert village video, too short and no actual instructions on how to do it, waste of 1.01 secs of my life....

  • The whole area is clear coated after blending the paint.. It is the clear lacquer which gives the finish and the shine..

  • What is the next step? Do you clear coat after drying? If you do, do you put new clear coat over where there has only come a little new color? I am asking because when I did it on my old black car the blend area turned out pretty matte and ugly. Possibly because I used a rattle can, ended up making a more solid border instead and then taking a buffer with rubbing compound on the area where the old and new met. How do you guys do it?

  • Big Trick on how to waste time

  • new paint dosen't match old paint so u dust into the old so you don't see a obvious line

  • why blend ?????????
