taking the car outside and looking at it from a distance at different angles in the sun helps me for tougher colors. if i cant see a difference on the blend panels with the new paint and the rest of the scuffed area, then it usually looks good when its all cleared. i try to keep the paint a little wet(w/ slower reducer, not pile on the paint) to keep from mottling. but it does take time and patience(something i had to force on myself) :blush: to get it. i just started painting 10 mos. ago and have a sh@!load to learn from you all on this forum. :pcorn:
i dont think you can do as much metal working on the thinner metals we use now. My grandpa boasts about how he used to just work the metal before there was even bondo. they actually used lead in those days and had to file that down. thanks to guy who invented bondo! 😉
so how did the blend come out? underpaid is right, leave the blend panel unmasked as you blend or youll get definite mask lines. ive learned with solvent paint you can over reduce the blend to help it blend better. maybe you can try that next time.
