I recently purchased a Black 2002 NB 2.0L automatic for my daughter's first car. It's a one owner (checked CARFAX) with 127000 miles. The interior is in very good shape, no tears or hole but needs a good detail cleaning to make it close to new.
The body is in good shape no dents and the paint is in good shape, except for the driver’s side rocker panel and the typical stone chips on the hood.
The rocker panel does not appear to be dented. But there is a large area that looks like a paint chip that has come off the drivers side rocker panel and you can see down to the primer coat. Also you can see a little bit of surface rust on the primer coat on one corner.
I would like to know is there anybody in the Southern Maryland area that could be willing to give me a hand on this repair. I would like to repair it myself, or provide me with some detailed instructions for me to follow.
I have order Touchup 123 to repair the hood paint chips and any minor scratches in the paint I find. I have also ordered a can of spray paint and clear coat from the local VW dealership that matches the NB color code to fix the rocker panel.
What other tools/supplies should I get to repair the rocker panel?
If you can help send me a PM.
Thanks

I will post pictures when I get the Beetle back from my mechanic next Wednesday.
