Looking good! What type of paint do you plan to shoot them with? Do you think they will need flex additive?

I'm using dupli-color filler primer out of a spray can... On the deep pits we use 3m spot putty with hardner

Have been using SEM trim black... A good friend of mine has done a few sets with this and they are holding up great!

I would say they are using a skim coat body filler or finish filler, then prepping it for paint. I have heard of this done just never seen a set from beginning to end product.

Correct I will dig up my pics

Have not had a chance to work on the quarter glass with all the overtime I have been working. Did manage to get the headlights pulled out and found all kinds of nest. Luckily everything was dead lol

Also got the taillights painted minus the pin stripes... Have not decided if i'm going to attempt them or not
