Over spray

TripleBlkZ · 03-13-2012, 11:42 AM

At the end of last summer lucky me got my back fender keyed, I took it to the body shop I thought it came out good. Stored the car and now when I uncovered it and about to do a good detail I saw 2 issues....

1. At the right angle I can see the key mark line though the new paint. This isn't normal is it? Best description is almost like a line in the paint but the paint isn't marked.

2. Notice some clear coat over spray on the door, can I remove this when I bar/detail?

Thanks,

Easy answer first... yes, clay should handle the overspray.

As far as the key mark still being visible... do you know how they fixed it? Did they respray the whole panel or just touchup the area? If they did a spot fix its entirely possible they just went too thin and the only way to repair would be to respray.

Once I get the car back on the road and into the sun I will post a pic or two of it.

Good to know about the over spray and the body shop is really good so I wouldn't think I would have an issues with them
