After searching around for the correct color to match the current finish, finally had a chance to paint the Rocker Panel. When the passenger side floor pan and lower toeboard rotted through, it also obliterated the rocker panel, so when I replaced the floor pans last year I also repaired the rocker.
Back in September I had to create the metal patch for the area. Could not find any repro patches so I had to fabricate a piece up with the MIG and scraps from the pans. Then used Rage Gold filler, block sanded, repeated, skimmed with lightweight filler and final sanded. Gray filler primer followed by Metallic Gunmetal Grey paint. The entire car needs to be sanded with 1500 grit sandpaper and polished out, which will include the final portion of this repair. Plan to re-spray the entire car in the near future, but would ike to drive it for while before taking it apart again!.
