Hey everyone:

First off, I want to say how much I've appreciated this site. I've owned my '03 TL since 9/02 and only learned of this site about a year ago. I've learned quite a bit.
And have learned from the many DIY's here. So I'm wondering if this should be a DIY.

I scraped my front passenger side fender and am seeking your expert advice as to how best to fix it.

I'd like to utilize a spray on touch up from paintscratch.com or something similar. Would you recommend this? If so, what steps would you recommend (i.e. sanding. grit, spray. buff, etc.)?

I have a sprayer and compressor but I'm not confident enough in my skill that I would do such a great job with that, but maybe with an outline of the proper steps then I might be able to tackle it that way.

I have a couple of other photos of this spot as well if more detail is needed. Thanks in advance for any feedback or suggestions.

 

It look like you have WDP and that is a very hard paint to touch up, its a 3 stage paint.

 

Yeah it is WDP. I should have mentioned that in the first message. Thanks. May have to just have the bumper sprayed at a body shop, huh?

 

I would honestly just bring it in if your unsure of what your doing. It will have to be sanded primed and blended into the area to make it look right.
