painting driver side door problem
Im trying to save a little extra cash if i can so i'm repainting my car door. There were a couple rust spots on the door but the surrounding paint looks nice a shiny so im just painting the spots.
Ive sanded it to the metal and smoothed it out and used a Rust-Oleum AUTO spray can thats rust preventive and a high gloss black. It looks great in the shade but when the sun hits the spot, their very noticeable. Ive buffed it, pianted it a few times, sanded with different grits, and tryed the Turtle Wax rubbing and polishing compound and it still looks the same.
Any have any pointers, ideas, or has anyone done something similar to this?

I think it does but it isn't as shiny as the car paint so i need to get it buffed to shine.

your never gonna get it to look right that way, you can buff with a buffer thats the best way to smooth the blend, but no other way to do it other then paintin the door. the whole door that is.
