Default RE: Paint purchase question

I am in the final stages of finishing a sidecar and fender for a friend (painted for about ten years professionally). Are you doing just a spot repair with blend over or are you going to repaint the entire color insert. I recommend the entire repaint of that panel than a spot job.

.02 more cents. If we keep this up you'll have enough money to repaint your entire bike. Careful with powder pearls, a little goes a L O N G way.
