Replaced the front fenders on my 1999 Mazda truck. The fenders were painted and cleared before installation.
Naturally they did not match the rest of the truck, although the paint store mixed according to the truck paint code.
They have been on the truck about 1 month. Can I DA them with 400 through the clear and repaint, or just wet sand and then repaint. 😡[quote=”lariat06″ post=24155]Replaced the front fenders on my 1999 Mazda truck. The fenders were painted and cleared before installation.

Better paint lines have variants of a colour. The idea is to pick the variant that best matches the vehicle. Even then, most people will blend the colour into the adjacent panels (in this case, the front doors). Butt matching (as was done on your fenders) can be a bad idea with most colours.
wet sand the fenders and doors , mask of the panels and repaint the fenders and blend into the doors if the paint is blendable. Just make sure the paint is blendable(right shade of color or variant)
