Does the gen 5 have clear coat from the factory? Mine is white (cream) with a subtle dash of pearl. I have no idea what they call it but the paint code is NH624P1. I am about to replace the RF fender with a junkyard item and it will require a repaint.
I have painted cars before with good results but I'm beginning to suspect that I may need some tutoring with this.

Fender & junkyard..... you over the ponds from us here in the UK.

NH624P is premium white pearl. All preludes are lacquered.
Premium white wasnt available over here but essentially it's a 3 stage pearl white meaning it has a base score coat over the primer, Followed by a transparent pearl coat and then finished with lacquer.
For a true colour match the colour needs blending into the door and bonnet (hood) and 3 stage pearls are difficult to do.

Thanks for the offer but as I'm in the U.S. and I suspect you're in the U.K. crating and shipping would most likely make one's eyes water.

ps My assumption concerning your location came from your use of the word "wing". My first thought was no- I already have one and it's bolted down to the trunk (boot) lid. Then I realized - - -
