8 UR HMI Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Trial and error. It will look (. )( .)s soon enough yea i know. had the same problem with my engine covers after primer. i cant use the compressor here to paint so i had to rattle can it but my engine covers came out glossy and smooth til i tried to do some other crap to them anyways im letting it dry til the morning then im gonna check it and probably spray a 3rd coat and let that sit for a few hours then start on my passenger side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8 UR HMI Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) shes done. i dont like how the primer sat so when i go back from my gfs tomorrow im gonna sand it back down, add some bondo and then sand it smooth, shoot my old primer (looks like im pulling out the paintgun) and then make it nice and pretty but heres basically a preview.. and no there isnt an OVAL for the pod hole, its how the light sat. ill go get better pics later.....

SSplaytoy Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 That's a lot of sanding to do! I am the same way with perfection tho. I spent 3 days trying to get the gauge pods in the center console smooth. Sand, primer, finishing putty, wet sand, more putty, sand, primer, wet sand again,......over and over til it got good enough for me to paint.

8 UR HMI Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 well im gonna do what i did to my old boss' viper with his back hatch, im gonna bondo it and sand it, then shoot regular auto primer then spray the good coats and do it multiple times then clear it.

misterp Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Coming along nicely Bob Can't wait to see it in person! Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymz Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Good job FYI- To help you out in the future. You're either using to much hardner, Waiting to long to apply, or using a dirty applicator for your bondo. When applied correctly it will cut down considerably on your sanding time, as well as provide a much smoother surface to paint Just curious, Did this end up being cheaper than buying a prepaired pillar ?
