Same color as the last on I did. Same owner, same color, different car.
I pulled the dent with a stud puller and a light layer of filler and primer
Nice work

xtremekustomz- Ah, glad to see you posting!
I guess I don`t know enough about Elements to know where the dent-repair area is...on that qtr?
Ah, OK...now I get it. Did you shoot the whole panel or spot it in?
Ah, OK..what grit did you scuff it with before the clear?
Ah, OK...hey, "intercoat clear"?...So what`s different about that compared to the "regular clear"?
It is basically a clear basecoat. It has a few uses. Custom guys use it to mix with their kandies or flakes as a carrier. A normal shop would use it as a wet bed like I mentioned to cover sand scratches on heavy metallics so the flake doesn`t show on the blend area. It lets the flake lay down where you can`t see the blend. You can also use it for the blend itself by doing your color to cover the repair and then mix it 1:1 with your base to thin it out and make it more transparent. Custom guys also use it to cover kandy after it has been sprayed because if you apply an activated clearcoat on top of it directly it can bleed into the clear and ruin the art work. It acts as a barrier coat.

xtremekustomz- Hey, thanks for the great explanation! With my need to find a new shop (and am leery of trusting people I don`t know), that kind of info is simply invaluable.
