I got a call from Nissan Ca. today telling me they have approved my claim and agreed to have my door matched there is only one thing I find odd they told me the body shop is going to "match buff" the pannel so it blends in with the others Has anyone heard of this prosses? I have heard of this from a friend of mine who knows about my problem, he has a cousin who works at a collision center his cousin told him to tell me to get that done but I have no clue what exactly they doo to match it up but if it works without a repaint than cool. The person assured me it would be fixed properly and if its not to my satisfaction I am to call them back ASAP.

 

That's good news.....
Glad to hear they looked after you.
Still...... it's a shame they didn't do the right thing the 1st time.

 

Good for you. I have no idea what a match buff is. A buff is a light compound to the paint so this doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

 

I'm so glad you are finally getting some action on this Roy .

 

It sounds like they are going to blend the surrounding paint work.
So they sand the doors or fenders around what they are painting to remove the clear . Then paint the door and lightly spray some on the surrounding areas so that it blends easier to the eye . Otherwise it is butt matching where the 2 different painted surfaces have a seam where you may be able to tell it was painted.
After paint they clear the whole panels and buff it down to smooth it out.
