The present invention discloses a vehicle body side part structure. An observer is prevented from noticing a difference in color tone or texture even when paint mist becomes attached to a center pillar (3) at the time of painting a vehicle body outer panel portion. An outer panel (35) of the center pillar (3) includes a bulge in at least a part of the panel surface on the lower side protruding outside the vehicle body at the center in the up-down direction, compared to the upper side. A starting end (HL) of the bulge is positioned at substantially the same height as an upper-edge line (UL) of a door body part at least at the center of the pillar width.
