Didnt read through the whole thread, but if its just on the fender then you might just be able to find a fender that same color. Should be like $100. Thats what I'd do.

Speaking of aerosol sprays, would an aerosol spray would be perfect to paint my flaking gold plated exhaust tips?! What spray would anyone recommend or would it be paint for the tips?! Cost-wise, gold spray would be cheaper then gold paint and would probably pop a lot more too? I am torn between which one to try but I am leaning towards an aerosol spray but perhaps touch up paint for more of an OEM look?

i bought "matched paint" on ebay, it didn't match lol but looks better than gray primer. those big gouges and scratches will have to be sanded down and filled in with body filler, paint alone won't do anything, same with the peeling clear coat. it's very easy to do, i've never done it and you can see in my build thread i just went for it, very straight forward.
as for getting the correct color, on the inside of your driver side door it should have a code for your color, sandstone beige is 4K9 for example, figure that out and you'll have a definite answer for what your color is.

I knew paint would not fill in gouges. I considered as a stop gap measure I might sand the little bit of rust in the gouges off, and paint the little dent to stop the rust. I didn't want to spray the 300 till spring if I could hold off, as I owe my Platinum 400 some paint love first. When I got my fenders rolled, the roller chipped my paint and it's been slowly rusting a bit. I want to sort that out next. I did not want to give the rust in the gouges on the 300 time to get worse over the winter. I thought I'd reduce the visibility of the "keyed" area and the white spots on the quarter, and mainly protect the metal over the winter until fixing and painting everything in the spring.
Thanks

Do you ever watch "Mighty Car Mods" on YouTube? Watch their recent episode on painting a busted up Legacy, its pretty much exactly how you should do it and on the cheap too. There are several websites that can send you color coded spray paint in body paint quality. Check it out..

Forgive me if I sound stupid. I've never painted any cars.

So let me get this straight.. Even though to me it appears that the paint itself looks faded & the obvious clear peeling away... wiping it with lacquer thinner & then spraying it with an aerosol clear coat will bring it back to it's original state?

i used automotivetouchuppaint.com to get porsche gt3 "grey black" paint to paint the wheels on my 911. I must say, it isn't like HVLP sprayed, but I was extremely impressed. Here are some pics to see what their 3 step aerosol paint comes out like

and lastly, fresh from getting the tires mounted after painting.
