Not all filler mate will crack, its just got a fine skim of filler over the top for smoothing purposes best to use the least filler you can.

Really need some coileys and some stretch now :slayer:

Any suggestions?

Nope mate im 19 never used a real spray gun before or bodyfiller lol but have always played with cars, like i said last night front bumpers taken me a week of working on it after work to get it were it is so far. I just read loads and loads about how to do it before i do it

And ask my dad

The plastic offcuts from the bumper so it was all the same type of plastic.

Re: My mk2 punto sporting

once you remove the bump strips the bumper sort of carrys on under there only a couple of slits where the bump strip cliped in...the plastic behind the bump strip is level enough to just straight use fibreglass to fill holes and body filler slight skim to level out

Spray gun was a devilbis spray gun which my dad used to spray his cars many moons ago lol so have no idea and the compressor was from aldis i think runs at 8 bar so plenty for what i want to do at the minute

Re: My mk2 punto sporting

maybe i know its a bit extreme,but if u are going for the smooth look.you could smooth off the window washers and fit them onto the wipers ( im sure a couple of people have done it on here )
just a thought been as you seem really good at smoothing and painting anyway

Meant clips mainly on spraying, but the pics are a lot better

Might of been good to do it in 2k or use some 2k lacquer especially on the front bumper.

Just need to smooth bonnet and roof then almost a full spray

Are you putting in a grill on the bumper to protect the radiator a little?

Smoothing the washers has always been a funny decision, its like ill say thats too far but then i think well ive got no rear wiper now so were do i stop and what do i class as practical and unpractical lol seems a bit silly stopping now dosnt it, never heard of putting them on the wipers sounds like a very good idea tho thanks for the heads up matey will look into it

Oh got no clips of me spraying as its mainly ever only me in the garage when im spraying, Never used 2k before and have been told some bad storys when using it lol nothing wrong with the paint just it can go very wrong very quickly lol

Bonnet is next but cant decide wether its worth buying another one and de-badging, smoothing etc... or stick with this one which has ALOT of dents in it (ones atleast a foot sqaure)

Am also tempted to spray the whole car lol what do you think bright pink? maybe a bit of bright green or two tone to make it go a bit faster?

And for the grill i dont want too but i have this annoying sensible thing in my head saying i should, so yes i will be looking for the least restrictive piece of mesh/grill available

Thanks for the comments tho

Mate have you tried to mount washer jets under the bonnet to the underside of the bonnet?? i think it would work like that seen on another car just need to get the stream right haha

and as for the mesh i dont think that it would restrict anything mate because mesh is pretty thin mostly so less surface area for drag...but i would defo but some mesh because i had my bumper without any for a while and got loads of stones hit the radiator and dint the fins on radiator.

Go for black mesh imo with the yellow puntoi would look good and not as noticeable as silver
