[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4224965, member: 26737"] Re-clearcoat the whole truck? No. Re-clearcoat the whole panel? It depends on how anal you are about it. My old boss got a rock chip in the paint on his car, so he tried his hand at repairing it himself, but he could never get the transition blended to his satisfaction (it looked OK, but he could still feel the transition from the original paint/clearcoat to the new), so he took it to a trusted body shop. They told him that you just can't get that transition perfect on clearcoat finishes, so they always re-clear the entire panel. (I don't think they said repaint, but it has been about a decade, and I can no longer ask him any questions.) [/QUOTE]
