Well since the jackass I showed the Civic to had no cash I guess I will be giving the roll on job a try. I have the paint, what type of primer should I get?

One of the guys on the MG forum had good results with rattlecan primer.

Please take copious pictures, I intend to do a roll-on job pretty soon.

Sweet, rattlecan primer is cheap! I think all I need for prep is some more tape and some scotch pads to rough up the surface.

Awesome dude! I'll be doing a round of touch up on the Civic tomorrow, life and weather got in the way so sanding will probably be a huge bitch now.

So is there any reasonably decent worthwhile way to repair clearcoat? Dad's car had a clearcoat bubble that he neglected and it's now pretty much consumed the entire C-pillar. If it's not a horribly daunting task I'd like to attempt to contain the car cancer.

My MS6 has a spot about the size of a a coffee cup where the clear was badly damaged and three places told me they'd have to repaint the whole hood.

If you care what it looks like you'll need to repaint the whole panel. Otherwise? Go nuts with a light sanding and spray cans of clear coat.

I've seen some pretty amazing blending jobs, I just didn't see the need to repaint the entire thing.
