    I'm still deciding. I have sanded back some of the Bondo to tae off the higher ridges and peaks. It actually gives an interesting effect wre he ondo shows through the undercoat.




    This project is one where I'm trying out some ideas and just seeing what happens and if they work. It's all low cost and even if it fails, I have learnt what can or can't be done for other projects.

    This is the exact same reason why I have temporarily shelved my John Deere mod. There's a few things I want to try paint wise to see if it'll be feasible or not.

    And I have to admit, I kinda like the look of your front panel now with some of the bondo showing through. White and pink, who'da thunk it?!?

    You could undercoat it one colour then top coat a different one and give it a sand for that effect in nicer colours. Bondo isn't a nice colour.

    This opne is taking unexpected turns - what next?

    Break a leg!

    I remember once, seeing a DIY show where they made some shelves and covered them with that stuff they wrap broken limbs with. It gave a really neat stone look when painted.
