handsandwhich Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hey Linton, was good to meet you the other day. Looks like you have done very well getting that shell to the stage it is with no panel experience. Must be now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and getting a bit excited?

Riceburner Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Looks nice and straight Linton! I used 'flex aid' on my old urethane front spoiler and it never cracked, might be an idea for the Fibreglass one if you haven't Already thought of it... Have you figured out the paint code yet?

RB30X Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 If I learnt anything from my DIY paint job, its to put HEAPS of paint on so you've got some thickness there for when you wet sand to remove any orange peel etc. Any dont be dissapointed when the final coat dries and it doesnt look summernats quality, because a few hours wet sanding then using several grades of polish will have it looking a million dollars. Nice colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
