Thanks Paul/Paint guy,

One other question - where do you 'draw the line' on a full quarter vs. patch? If my 'panel' issues are below the top of the rear wheel well, would I be better off with a patch vs. a full quarter?

I looked inside the rear quarter and the outer wheel house has rust issues (again they stop below the top of the fender line).

Trying to weigh pros/cons of full vs partial.

Thanks,
Brian.

There are several different sized "patches" and "skins".
For purposes of this discussion, you should know that a true "full quarter" includes the sail panel, a portion of the back glass channel and trunk channel, and goes all the way up to and inside the rear portion of the door opening.
In my opinion, a full quarter would be overkill if you only intend to use the part behind the wheel opeing.
On the other hand, you ,might need a 'full' quarter skin..Which doesn't include the sail panel, any channels or the door opening area. That way, you can cut what you need from it.
These guys know a lot more than I do about it though.
