Hi, I recently tried to touchup a chip on my car`s paint. It is mettallic silver color. I sanded a small section around the chip area and used a mini hobby style spray gun to apply the paint. I have not sprayed on any clearcoat on the repair area yet. The surrounding area around the chip is darker. A halo kind of effect. It sticks out like a sore thumb. I think this is caused by slight overspray of the paint on the clearcoat of the non-sanded surround area, I am not sure.
Is this fixable by spraying clearcoat a bit further out over the repair or do I have to redo the repair and sand out the repair area further out to get a better blending of the color by feathering paint?
Thanks.
