How Many Years Can a Cut Rear Fender Last?

[ReaganMarie]

After being cut, a car's rear fender can typically last around three to five years. If the welding repair and rust-proofing are done well, it won't rust within this period. Impact of Cutting the Rear Fender: After cutting and repainting the rear fender, color differences are likely to appear, and the repainted finish won't be as durable as the factory paint. If the rear fender is replaced, there might be misalignment with the rear door lock, as manual welding and measurements can't match the precision of the factory installation. Fender Location: Fenders are divided into front and rear fenders based on their installation position. The front fender is installed near the front wheel and must ensure sufficient space for the wheel's maximum turning and bouncing limits.
