Hey thanks you guy's for the comp's. I was thinking I would put down some of the process of this type of work incase someone wanted to take a stab at it themselves.. If nothing else,too show what it takes to do this type of work in your own garage.....It's good stuff for "Father / Son" projects too,good bonding time. My Dad learned me when I was growing up !!! (Now it's my trade)


Well, we're in prime now. I tried too keep the material in as tight as I could covering the filler while still getting a few nice coats over the feathered paint also......Many people will use the tape as a border and flow the primer right over the taped off area...This is a NO NO !!! If you apply this material over a sharply edged tapeline the solvents in the primer will swell up the old paint next to the tape,but not under the tape (you see what I mean ??) and that will create a line you can never get rid of unless you go back and "strip" all the material back to bare metal...not very efficient money or time wise...So here's some more photo's

I did end up taking off the decklid because there is some flaking off paint in the gutter that Dave wants me to take care of while I'm here,hopefuly you can see it in the shots.
