| Clod body.
This is my first time repairing and painting a hard body. I think it turned out pretty good. I started by cleaning up the area where it was cut. Removing all if the old adhesive and body putty. Then I glued styrene to the bottom of the bed so it would keep the bed level. I glued the rear part of the bed on to the styrene. After the glue dried, I used a 2 part epoxy and some fiber mat, to hold both halves of the bed together. Once the epoxy was dry, I sanded down the places where it was applied. Then sanded the whole truck and applied primer. Once first coat of primer was dry, I sanded down rough spots and applied second coat. After the second coat dried, I laid down 2 coats of silver paint. When the silver was dry, I taped off the top of the truck and applied 2 coats of "black n blue pearl" I think it turned out good for my first time doing this. It's good enough for my crawler because it's gonna get scratched up anyways. Thanks for looking. Will. Sent from my HTC Desire 626 using Tapatalk |
