paint question
 

my late 31 pickup was painted 5 years ago still looks great,it had rear fender mounted tail lights,now where tail lights were mounted has ring around where bolts went thru fender u cant hardly feel them just see them without taking to body shop is there a fix,truck is black

Re: paint question
 

So the tail lights should be mounted on a stand, ...and there is a reinforcement plate on the inside if the fender where the nuts should tighten against. If I am understanding correctly, the hole in the fender has a ring however the bolt's head should be going thru the flange on the stand. What am I missing??

Provided you have enough layers of paint, you can 'carefully wet-sand ridge' with 2500+ and then use polishing compound followed by hard wax with electric buffer or lots of elbow grease.


Surprisingly, unless you have the original paint, it can sometimes be hard to match even black paint if you have to repaint the area.
