Default paint blend

i was so happy with this I had to show it on the board to anyone who didn't see my old post. so here it is, I don't think a pro body shop could have done a better job I had to replace part of the pass quarter, I didn't replace the entire quarter, just went back to the bonding strip behind the wheel instead of going all the way to tail:

Seriously good work.

thanks , unfortunately I decided to fall farther down the rabbit hole as we all do when we start a big job, it always snowballs, so I decided I would fix some chips I had on the back lid and under the window trim, so it looks like I will be painting over my blend line anyway, at first I was just going to blend it in, but as I started sanding and repairing, I realized that most likely I will have to paint over it , but I will see as the next week goes and see where it takes me, lol would suck to have to bury it but I want the best job I can do so most likely re shoot the top of the quarter to
