Meh, not really sure if it would, to be honest. The only way to know would be to get a newer one and check, but it'd probably look just fine with that one.
After the holes were fixed I re-primed it.
And the inside
After 2 coats of primer I began the 1st coat of black.
I usually do 4 coats of color and at least 3 coats of clear after that.
Alright, I finished all color coats on the front
The 3rd and last color coat on the top.
And the 2nd coat on the right side.
Question: When I'm all done with the black.....
1. do I clear coat a few times, add the white stripe and clear coat again?
or
2. Finish black, add white then clear coat all?
Might want to add at least 1 coat of clear to protect you black paint job from damage.
Next question. How do I attach the handcuffs to the front?
1. Rivets
2. Screws
3. Bondo
4. Glue?
So, I attached the panel to measure where I'm putting the window/stripe.
And here's where it gonna go.
And now I've moved on to painting the stripe on the top and right side.
I've decided to go with Rivets and Epoxy. I will drill the bottom-side of the cuffs at the point where the two pieces come together (1). And I will drill a tiny hole in this area where there is already a pin (2).
All holes will be under the cuffs and will be attached from the inside so that it won't be seen from the front.
Here's kinda what it'll look like
And here you can see the stripe drying
nice progress!
I moved on to the clear coats.
