Shortly after I brought Trouble home after my friends stopped helping me, I knocked a jackstand against the right rear quarter. I sanded it a bit and put some paint on it to prevent rust, but now I need to really fix it. This is bc/cc and I really don't want to have to repaint the whole quarter, although I'm afraid that's what I will have to do. I did paint the car originally and have all the tools and paint to do it, so that's not a problem.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this? In the pictures you can see the sanded area and where it is on the quarter. Is there any way to blend this in without repainting the whole darn thing. I figure I can do a break at the top of the fender and at the end cap. It's the part forward that I don't want to repaint, if there's another way. I know the trick of putting down tape and pulling it back to avoid a sharp line. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't for me.
