After a blend line mess, I'm done with full paint blends for small dents
I had a job with a tiny dent on a fender. The shop wisdom is that blending paint is a must for perfection. Well, I did that, and the blend line popped out like a sore thumb after a few days. So now I'm all for spot repairs on minor stuff. Honestly, it's less hassle and the results are just as good, if not better.

But is a visible blend line REALLY that big of a deal? Spot repairs can look just as bad if the color match is off or the clear coat fails. A proper blend might actually last longer and hide the dent better. Maybe the issue was with how the blend was done, not the method itself.

A bad blend is just a bad repair, period.

On a Honda Civic last week, a blend hid the damage perfectly. The color match was spot on and the clear coat blended seamlessly. Calling all blends bad repairs ignores when they're done right.
