short-haul Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks have played with glass since the early 90 and still do not like it you have that itchy fealing for 3 or4 days and if you don't use a respirator when grinding and sanding it will give you a sore throat that lasts a long time. Im just happy Im down to filler, primer and paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

short-haul Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share #20 Posted April 3, 2010 Well got paint on. Pearl came out a little darker the I had hoped It almost looks green. I should have used a lighter shade of base under it :bang head:O'Well the lower white and silver strip came real close and its only a trailer and in the sun it will look closer to the right color. Now it's time to color sand and buff then put back together. this camera does not show colors as good as my sisters but she took here to Reno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
