Default Sand blast in the front of the rear wheel, a way to repair it !!!

I tried my best to remove or atenute the big fading, chipping on that dam plastic part in the front of the rear wheel. I used a colored wax, the Turtle Wax Color Back. It work better than I tought and enough satisfying for me.

also spray some detailing silicone over that small area. It may collect dust over a little time, but it hides the sandblasting well.

Finman would have used blue tape (easier). Recommend clear bra stuff.

Default The clearbra stuff still gets sandblasted...

true the paint is ok...but you can't see it under the blasted clearbra...in fact, there are 2 pieces of clearbra-like material already there...and they are blasted!...the paint under them is ok.
