Nightmare VW

[slant6]

I started this off by filling in the seams between the bumpers and the body and they kept breaking.

I got that taken care of and started to paint it, but wasn't happy with it, so I decided to shave the door handles and fill in the spaces for the license plates, that went ok, just took a long time to get it all smooth.

I used the same paint in both pictures except that I changed the base coat from silver to white.

I was finally happy with the color and all my modifications, grabbed it out of the paint booth and dropped it. The bumper seam cracked and the paint chipped.

When its help together tight, you cant see the crack through the paint, so im not to worried about that, I think I can get it glued back well enough, but can I fix the chips in the paint without starting over? I really don't want to start over.

I've been having the same luck recently as you. It happens and just have to pick up and move on. I had posted here about needing a paint repair very similar to yours and got some very good suggestions .. here's the link

So the nightmare continues. I decided to ignore the chip in the paint and just paint over it. I doesnt look great but its ok. I masked off for the next step in the paint job and it came out pretty good.

When I pulled off the masking, I realized I forgot to mask the underside of the car and I got some overspray on the hood. If anyone knows a way to get rid of it, i would really appreciate it. Other wise, Im gonna sand it down and repaint that section tomorrow.

Also, when I took off the masking, this cracked. Im not to worried about it though. It should got back together pretty cleanly.

Maybe some light rubbing compound will take the over spay off.

Since these cracks are showing up, what type of glue are you using?

Ambroid ProWeld?

SuperGlue holds good but is actually very brittle.

Cool Paint job tho.
