most of the lines will buff out, you may have some small wear marks to touch up.

3 of 4 fenders are to bare metal, 1 is not quite to metal but beyond a cut and buff. Ive got a close friend thats a body guy for a living, his painter will spray it. Ill be less than 600 to fix. Sense all im buying is materials and the painters time ....


Still blows though... thats cutting into my ezlynk fund. Lol

Flares aren't bad as long as you properly install them.
3M clear tape should be applied directly where the mating surface will be... (the part that touches paint.. run a strip of the thin 1/4" clear tape make a nice line the shape of the flare (take a marker.. put the flare on.. draw the outline of it.. place 3M clear tape to the BOTTOM of the line. And the flare will only touch that.. goodluck rubbing through that tough stuff. Thats what we do at my bodyshop all the time. Anything even mudflaps
Bodyside mouldings
Whatever.

Could have maybe used some bondo, as at the right angle can still see the "groove" but im happy.

Now waiting to wash its going to kill me, its filthy lol

Wouldn't need bondo unless there's an actual dent, that can be sanded down, and smooth 100%... 80-120-240-320 then prime
Sand with 500
Base and clear, done..
and bondo shrinks it's for the initial repair you always finish with a finishing putty, if anything for something so small. Finishing putty. Bondo would just shrink and crack if applied alone.
