Spraying Help

[MattyWoo]

I've just bodged my arches with filler etc.
Then i decided the spray them. I masked a small area around the filler and sprayed it with a spray can, now i've removed the masking tape there is blatantly a difference in the two colours how do i blend them in do i use summit like rubbing compound or TCut or summit???
Also what am i meant to do to the paintwork as regards polishing, and making it shine etc.????
Cheers

i'm sure ade will give a proper answer, but this is what i did: rub it down with some wet & dry 1200 and then 1500 grit. wipe away dust etc and then use a bit of rubbing compound (sparingly) to get a semi perfect blend then t-cut it.

that's the way i bodged my wheel arches. then i got some side skirts to cover it up
:wink:

Best way is when painting, don't spray right up to the masking tape line. Mask off anything close by like trim, bumper etc and carefully spray the area so the paint blends in with the original - you wont end up with a 'ridge' of paint this way. Finish of with some T cut then polish to blend in.
