Honda Civic — front wing repair, blended into the door
A typical panel job: one damaged front wing, repaired and refinished, with the colour blended into the door so there's no hard edge for the eye to catch.

- Work carried out
- Front wing repaired, refinished and blended
- Where
- Our booth on Europa Park, Grimsby
The starting point
Damage to the front wing on a dark grey Civic — the kind of everyday knock that doesn't need a new panel, just proper repair and paint.
The process
- Wing straightened and prepared, edges feathered so nothing telegraphs through the new paint.
- Masked in the booth with the door left open for blending rather than hard-masked at the shut line.
- Colour-matched to the car's paint code, blended into the door, lacquered and baked.
- Polished and checked against the bonnet and door in daylight.
Same car, same angle
The result
Drag the before/after and the repair simply isn't there. This is the standard every panel job leaves on.
