Can a fender be partially repainted?

Fenders can be partially repainted, but before doing so, it's essential to find a skilled and professional repair shop, as partial repainting requires higher technical expertise and better working conditions. Automotive paint surfaces are relatively complex, consisting of four layers. From the inside out, these layers are the electrocoat layer, primer layer, basecoat layer, and clearcoat layer. After the entire vehicle body is assembled, it is immersed in an electrocoating bath, forming an electrocoat layer on the surface. Following this, robots apply the primer layer, which prevents rust and enhances adhesion to the next paint layer. Above the primer is the basecoat layer, responsible for the vehicle's aesthetic appearance. The outermost layer is the clearcoat, which protects the basecoat layer.
