After I've polished everything with hardcut once I have the stripe to deal with before final finishing..When I pull the fineline tape up there is a "sharp" line along it that must be knocked down. So I pull just the fineline and replace it with 1.5 inch and lay it about 1/16 of an inch below the existing tapeline and hardcut this sharp edge off whith the polishing wheel,doing this makes it less noticable that you used the stripe as a border
![]() After that I expose the 1/4 extensions and use a fine compound on all surfaces and then polish by hand. Since I didn't paint the decklid I hardcut that with compound and final finished it also so it would hopefully shine as nice as the top[s of the rear !/4 panels and it did turn out well...... |

First couple pics,semi finished product...Then I took a shot of the difference in the color even after the black added,at certain angles it looks perfect at others, not so. But blended looks good.
This is how you hang a decklid with only one person |

Now remember that I haven't painted the decklid and see how well it looks with the new paint blended away from it !! Nice !! And the sides look pretty darn good also,plus here's a couple shots of some of the rest of the car.....

Man, Dave already has the new top on it.He sent me some images but not as attachments so I'm not sure how I can get them up here. Maybe I can get some time this weekend to get a few shots. He made a very nice job of it.
