Not sure if this is the right section as I usually have all the answers for detailing inside and out including paint but I'm a little unsure about this one.
Washed my truck today and got tired of looking at this. It's on my list to fix but I'm getting closer to part of my list, like days closer lol.
So after I removed the factory flares awhile back I noticed a rub line. Mainly on the rears, not so much on the small door pieces though. The fronts weren't nearly as bad and would probably buff out.
So I'm trying to figure out if it's correctable , they look pretty deep but are they beyond repair? A cut and buff might blend it in? Touch up would never turn out right for this. I've ton tons of body work and paint but never came across this issue till now. The line is for the most part pretty smooth and there's no feeling of a gouge or dip where the line is, so I'm hoping it's just the clear coat and not the base.
What's your guy's thoughts ?
As I'm sure this is a common problem.
The flares have been on from factory install since it was new in 2003. Spending it's whole life in alaska and it's unforgiving weather , so if there's no hope I totally understand (which im thinking there's no hope). In the end I'm keeping the stock flares and will be color matching them later anyway.
