after jim had everything up here for his swap a few weeks ago, he found a set of 205 riser blocks from the same guy he got his clip from, so he snagged them up, and sent them up for me to shave the GT-4 off, and paint.

here are some pics.

first, i filled the gt4 writing with "marglass" fiberglass reinforced body filler.



once that was sanded:



then, went over that with some chromalite body filler and sanded it out:



then primer, sealer, basecoat, clearcoat.

great job manny. i got a Q though.

i was told if you spray the clear right after there is a risk of the clear peeling off really fast??? true or false
or does it depend on the type of paint used. i was told to wait a minimum of 5 days after base spray date to put the clear on kindasad.gif
but i never got around to doing the clear yet because i wanted my gold pearl in laugh.gif
