    Looks like it came out nice nex.
    What grit do you finish with before primer? those scratches look a little course in the paint. you may see those scratches in the future. If you have a DA it would be better to feather the paint back with and get rid of those straight line scratches

    I see what your saying ding. I sanded my sealer down with 1000 grit. The white spots/steaks are just the residue from the sealer before it was wiped. i have a habit of sanding sealer because i get nibs here and there and dry overspray at the edges. I did use some blender though, helped out alot.

    I did 80-120-220- then back 320 over the repair and backsand, too harsh?

    looks good nex. but the sad thing is the rest of them will look dead compared to that one.

    you should be fine with 320. very important to make sure to remove the courser grit scratches with each step

    Yea. Well I will keep an eye on it, as i see the car everyday, see if I see any sinkage, but like you said, should be fine.

    I 320’d then scuffed with a gray.
