Hi All,

I've a Boxster, bought at the right price and great car, but previously it's had the rear bumper repainted and then blended into the wings - just not as well as I would like.

There is a definate "shadow" just on top of the wheel arch hump and the shading changes. It's the same both sides

Anyone know any one who can do good work correcting this? I guess it needs respraying again, but can the blending be softened any by a good detailing guy perhaps?

Based in Yorkshire, any thoughts and reccomendations very welcome!!

Cheers

If the blending is in the paint colour, rather than excess texture in the lacquer at the edge of the repair, then a detailer will not be able to do anything at all.

The repair will need to be repeated, with a more skilled technician to blend it more sensitively, or a better colour match obtained.
