Went into a Custom Shop here in Vancouver to demo a quart of Epoxy primer and they asked my opinion on this HOK stuff. I'll try to describe the damage as good as I can so bear with me. The car in question is a 60 something Firebird that has a 30" in length scratch over the center of the roof, the widest part of the scratch is about 1/32th of an inch, it seems like it went all the way down to the basecoat but couldn't really tell because they hadn't tried to hit the area with 2000 wet sandpaper and shoot some W&G remover to see how it would look.
Anyway, this car has no break from the roof to the quarter panels, and all they want to know if there's a way to 'fix' the scratch, they said it didn't have to be perfect as long as they can sort of hide it make it go away. I didn't have a chance to take pictures of the car in question, I apologize for that.
The car is painted with all HOK stuff, PBC 69 Shimrin Razberry II pearl shot over BC26 White basecoat as the ground color, kinda like a 'fake' candy I take it, obviously three stage job.
This car was painted somewhere else but brought in to this shop to fix mechanical stuff and that scratch on the roof.
Is there a quick and dirty way to sort of fix this or are they screwed and have to do a proper blend job on the whole roof?
What say you, experienced painters in here? JimC, Bob Hollinshead, Chad S. and many others?
Thanks in advance for your help.
