Kinda hard to see to give you an exact answer. Has the car been repainted? It looks like the forward part of the fender is in good shape. If it is a smooth transition and repainted it could be that someone did a bad blend of the base/clear paint job. Seen that before. Can't fix that. Or could be...

You clear coat the entire panel but you only blend or fade your base partially into the existing color.. You can just paint the one panel if you like but just keep in mind that matching the paint that is on there may slightly differ from the surrounding panels. It can be done though man. I hope...

Ya you could say that. I guess it depends on the owner and what they can live with. I hope they work it out for him.

If the dealer owned up to it and If they have the same color vehicle on the lot I would ask to have parts off their new lot car and they can have yours sent off to the body shop for their car on the lot. Good luck bud

That's a good one bud!

Funny you bring that up, when I was 16 back in the '90's I worked for a dealership as one of the wash bay guys. We would scrub everything we could but when the stains were just to much and before the auction they would have me paint some carpets. We didn't do it much and I'm not saying that was...
