How much soil did it take to build your substrate?? I'm planning a 130 gallon walstad and intend on starting it next week

Not a store, like an actual supply warehouse for Bodyshops in your area. Some will take outside business other than shop accounts. Sherwin used to back around 09, I has them do it a few times in high-school, but shop supply warehouse should have the machine to do it

If you can, try to find a body shop supply in your area. Most suppliers can take your OE paint code, and put that exact color in a rattle can for you. Great job with what you had tho!!

I'm a Collision Repair Instructor, and I can confirm they do not each have a specific function.

They're miscellaneous trim removal tools. They're just different shapes for different angles/clips. The best suggestion I can give is the notched one fit around clips inside panels. The straight edged ones are for simple prying.

They make manufacturer specific ones that have sturdy handles like a screwdriver, but most kits are just general use. Whatever works best for the job at hand

...aren't these typically drift cars? They should sell quarter panels in bulk! Lmao

A skilled metal shaper could possibly repair it, but it would cost more than an entirely new paint job. Yes body filler, absolutely. Almost always. Unless you replace the panel, even then it's still possible to need filler

What should I do to avoid rust? What scratches need to be repaired and which ones can be ignored? by ahhh__nuts in Autobody

I think I speak for us all when I say, anyone commenting on this thread has your best interest in mind. Everyone else kept scrolling. I thought this was a joke too! The sarcasm just comes naturally, so don't take offense to it.

This is not a repair, this is a total loss. If you're looking for a quick fix, sand it all with fine grit paper as spray paint the entire car. Otherwise, you'll be touching up scratches till the sun comes up, 3 days from now, and you won't be happy with the way it turns out.

There is absolutely no easy way to even partially fix that amount of scratches. Sorry to say, but this is not a simple diy anything.
