When doing a small repair, like on a bumper corner, the color never seems to look right even though it should match. Why doesn’t the repair look right?
Most Technicians use a full size gun on a small repair. The metallic or pearl creates a “Halo” at the edges of the repair area. This halo usually appears as lighter silver and painters want to darken the paint. Now the color is wrong and the silver is still there. The proper procedure is to use a Mini-Jet that puts out less material in a smaller pattern. This will eliminate the halo for a perfect blend. This Mini-Jet technique also works well for troublesome blends on large panels.
