Smoothing Guide Request :)

Post by gazza_no7 »

If someone could find or make me a guide on smoothing:

Front bumper
Rear bumper
Boot (wiper, lock)
Arches

And the best way to colour code these to match my car :)

Also will this fit on the centre section / backbox joint? my clamp is shot and this looks better

i think thats the right size,

front and rear i used fiber glass to fill the most as its strongest them filled to get the shape,
the boot will need welding, because if you look in my log i didnt weld the wiper and it split, once you weld a plate in fiber glass again and the fill for the shape (will take a while to get the number plate recess curve,

arches? just the texture? sand it off them prime it :)
