Ok well i read the stick about this the exterior stuff and there was very little help. So i ask every one who knows body work and have done it before.
I have a three piece spoiler on its way here and i want to mold it to the trunk/ 1/4 panels for that sexy flow. Now here are the questions i am seeking to answer....
1) What products do you use?
2) Is there such a think as body puddy? I know theres body filler but havn't herd of body puddy
3) were would i have to look for this product?
4) sence its on the trunk lid and 1/4 panels will i have to worry about it cracking at all? this will be my daily driver for some time so just a key factor on if i will or wont do this.
If you guys could help that would be great!
1. You want to grind the paint down to the metal on the area that you will be molding
2. Sand the spoiler down real good on the parts where you will be molding
3. Get a good panel adhesive from 3M or Fusor to bond the spoiler to the metal
4. Use a good body filler and apply a small coat over the bonded area and sand smooth
5. Then use a good finishing filler (glazing filler) and throw a thin coat over that, sand it with a finer grit to get that smooth finish
Yes, very short easy steps but take you time and prep work is key
any brand names?
that sounds easy ... will i need to worry about it cracking at all?
anotehr question... if i get the autoloc hidden antenna what do i need to do to cover up the old antenna hole? will i need to cut a piece out of metal and wled on grind down and puddy it smooth?
anything but the bondo brand
and yes, use metal to fill in holes
ok about the craking tho still no answer on that ...
thanks for the help!
OrangeCavy What is that peice you molded in for. I wanted to mold it on my cava but never found out if it has an use.
Anytime you mold something there is a risk of cracking. How big that risk is depends on many many many different factors, from the quality of the work, how often it's driven, conditions, etc.
Blue ... they are just filler pannels ... no point to them being able to be removed unless your going to get a 03 rear bumper.
orange ... add me at msn if you have it ... dark_new_day@hotmail.com
I have questions up the butt but it would take forever to get them all answered on here.
