    Read the first page in the link,it will give you a basic idea of what to do.After it is repaired and prepped for paint you want to get coverage over your repair and extend each coat slightly,then blend your color,clear the complete panel.Obviously stick to the TDS instructions for the product you are using if not sikkens.

    shall i spray basecoat only on quarter panel or go into bumper and the panel below the light or shall i spray the basecoat just on quarter panel about 30-40cm around the damage?

    Its really up to you,I don’t think you will have to spray base that far.IMO bumpers very rarely match anyway and you are far enough away from the other spot and there is a nice clean brake to tape it off.If you are worried about it you can blend around the corner on that small spot.

    im not spraying bumper just want to repair dent and spray basecoat around dent but dont know where to stop spraying the base coat?

    do i blend the dent repair into bumper?

    do i blend into the small panel below light?

    or do i just blend within back quarter panel without painting into any of the surrounding panels ?

    If your not spraying the bumper why are you asking to blend into it :blink:
    I would pull the light,bumper,repair the quarter spot in base on the quarter and the small panel and clear everything.
