oz411 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Heres how i do my body work, strip the whole side till its naked Cover the whole bed side with bondo(we call it bog) the whole side this is the only way to get anything straight, it will seem like a shit load but most of it ends up on the ground Get a speed file with 36 grit paper Then using a cross hatch pattern, rub rub rub, start rubbing just as its getting hard, dont let it go off you'll be sanding for months Knock it down till it looks good with the 36, then go over it with 80 grit to smooth it out a bit Hit with a heavy coat of real good hi fill primer (the kinda shit you gotta stir for ages to get the lumpy shit off the bottom) Speed file hi fill with 80 grit Hi fill again speed file with 120 grit Hi fill again Speed file 180 grit Then final prime Much hard work... :angry: Quote Link to comment
