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.
