Default Help... Silverstone Fenders

The fenders were rolled and are pretty bumpy along the edge (before i bought the car). I went to see Joel at JL and he gave me a pretty good price. I was wondering whether I should buy new fenders and have them sprayed, or just have him fix the ones I have?

I remember someone saying on here that they have gone through four fenders? I think they were silverstone too? Any issues with color-matching? I heard silverstone is one of the toughest colors to match for the S and needs to be blended. I was just wondering how it came out?

Sorry for the long post, but any help is greatly appreciated.

i believe that sebring is harder to match. if you're only fixing the lip of the fender, don't buy another. he'll blend it to the rest of the fender. if you spray a new fender, he'll want to blend every panel that touches it, door, hood, bumper.

agreed! sebring and spa are probably the hardest.

Ok thanks for the feedback you guys. I'm thankful that I can ask questions and get feedback from people who can help me to make informed decisions. It is very much appreciated. With that being said, I guess I'll just have Joel fix the current fenders rather than buy new ones. I'm just glad the S will be back to normal after it's done!
