Body/paint is a black art, meaning that we don't know how they do it and will probably never know. My 911 got a pretty good dent at the a-pillar/passenger side door. Our local maestro fixed that and I paid him for a day or two to make the rest of the car match his repair work. The car had been poorly repainted years ago. There were scratches and cracks and orange peel and plenty of eyesore white primer patches showing, particularly on the hood (car is very dark brown (Mocha). Some primer patches were small. Others were an inch or more. It was a mess. When the car came back to me, it looked like a show car. Still does.

This same guy took a badly wrecked black 911 Turbo (practically wadded into a ball) and made it look new. His work will fool concourse judges into thinking "all original preservation." His 356 Speedster is the most beautiful you will ever see.

Me? I can barely use a rattle can.
