[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16644826, member: 70025"] Hello All, Been getting things ready for Saturday. Got my fenders in position to be worked on. Since they are on stands and give me a very good visual of them I have realized they really are not in good shape. It seems when you look at them from certain angles you can see sanding marks in the paint. There are some minor scratches at the bottom (under the side stripe and under front section). The area behind the bumper looks dry as they cleared it with the bumper on and since the hood is black you cannot notice this, but when you put the fenders side by side they actually look like different colors. Like one has a different tint to it. So, I told my painter that I want to repaint them when he comes over on Saturday. However, I'll have him look at them and let me know what he thinks. Fenders on stands and in a workable position. [ATTACH=full]1712961[/ATTACH] If you look at the bottom front of this fender you can see a pretty good scratch. [ATTACH=full]1712962[/ATTACH] The inner lip on this fender looks like it has little to no color. [ATTACH=full]1712963[/ATTACH] If you look closely at this picture you can see the bottom of the fender (under the side stripe) looks more pinkish and the top of the fender looks more redish. It is not the lighting. It looks like this at all angles. It's almost like the original painter did not want to get down low enough to paint the fenders properly. [ATTACH=full]1712964[/ATTACH] You can't see it at this angle, but the bottom stripe on the side stripe is not level. Kinda has a small wave/curve to it under the lettering portion, which fools the eye into making it look level. It's also not as wide as the top stripe. It's supposed to be a 1/2 inch and it is not. Amazing how you can see things clearly when they are up in your face LOL. [ATTACH=full]1712965[/ATTACH] Here you can see the rough/dry area they couldn't get to due to the bumper being in place. [ATTACH=full]1712966[/ATTACH] Same on this fender. So, I need to make sure the color is even, the side stripes are right and the clear coat is even. If you look to the right of this picture, in the light reflection, you can see the sanding marks in the paint. That's in the paint, not the clear coat. So, I think I'm just going to completely repaint them. Shouldn't be a big deal to make them right. [ATTACH=full]1712968[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
