Hello to all you all,
Ive been lurking about this site for a good few months now but never signed up... normally anything i want to know has already been answered but this time i just want to ask in a bit more detail.
As you may have noticed from the thread title im currently debadging my mk1 (my first attempt to make the old horse look a little better) lol.
So far i have taken the two back badges off, removed the glue, plated up the holes and filled in 3 of 4 with some bondo (i ran out of change for the last hole, so its a bit behind)
Anyway, ive had a good go at smoothing down the bondo then applied a thin layer of paint just for now when i need to use the car inbetween working on it. My next plan of action is to fill the remaining back hole, smooth down all the holes again so they are nice and flush and hopefully start to prime and paint.
I have taken more or less the same action with the pot hole at the front; plated, filled with bondo then smoothed down. Shall i continue with my current plan (priming and painting etc) or do you experts think i have missed anything crucial out?
Also, ive heard that once all the painting is complete it's best to apply some tcut to the areas to blend the colour. Does this make a big difference or can i just wash it down after?
Think ive got most things in there,
thanks for the help
