In this video I am going to not only show you how to repair peeling, chipped or worn out clear coat. I am going to show you how to do a spot repair and blend the new clear coat into the old clear coat. Some might call this a Hack but they will be disgruntled body shop workers :0 joking aside, this is not a long lasting repair and your results will vary based on how bad the clear coat damage is on your car and how much discoloration has resulted on your base coat.

Thank you. I only have a small spot to repair at the bottom of my window but this will make the process go a lot smoother!
I love you
I have been doing body work for 40 years and retired now just doing it as a hobby. Blending or in this case clear coating the complete panel as it was a small one would be more acceptable. If it necessary to blend there a spray can blending solvent. You have to be careful with them as they are thin and watery, but effective and will run if applied quickly, but they do blend allowing a feathering process for both paints and clear. Blending is more practical for clear and paints when using lacquer and not catalyzed two based clears which should be a complete panel. In this case since it is a narrow area papering and clear coating to the bottom would be more acceptable both for completion and for added thickness.
That is not criticizing as you have produced some great videos. Blending and feathering back in the 1970s on many lacquer colors was a necessity and some like midnight Blue metallic on GM cars was still a night mare and reason we named it Nightmare Blue. By 1980s GM was experimenting with water base colors and never told the shops until much later. This caused very severe and costly problems when using Lacquer and solvents was applied over water based paints. Very frustrating and costly as lifting of the sanded edges was constant and no one knew about water based being use until a seminar by a paint company made us aware. So my recommendation is a complete panel for 2K clears and only when necessary a blending agent for Lacquer clears, but the 2K clear full panel spray containing a harder is best route.
It's all on my bumpers cause 90s nissan

Elbow grease in the description down below.
i just did this to the whole roof of my Lexus, wow…. i mean its no pro paint job but you literally cant see it anymore ( i sanded and did 4 coats) and blended it as best i could, this was awesome and it doesn't have white spots! thanks man!
You should do the whole length in each stroke for a more consistent finish. Rather then doing half at a time.
