What type of body filler did you use bro? Like i said in the other topic take your time bro. I would how ever suggest to dip it in brakfluid and get some spot puddy (by bondo available at a auto store) and don't lay it on too thick. Then sand till it looks flush run your hands over it if you fell a high spot sand it till it goes away. ;)

The pait looks nice and that clear is awsome looks like the finish off a new car ;)

The paint does look shiny, but you need to work on getting a better tape line. :rolleyes:

istill have trouble with breaks only way i fixed it was by switching to frog tape or clear before doing the second tone

thanks Jordan, haven't even cleared it yet. as for the tape line, I bought my favorite tape today, it's no longer made by the original company so finding it is a pain up here, but got lucky at a yardsale today.

I'm going to touch it up.

That's coming out nicely Nick.

For masking, try the painter's blue tape; it comes in 1/4"-2" widths and works very well. It seals tightly and removes easily if you take it off within a couple of days, otherwise it can leave adhesive residue.

I look forward to more. If you want to replicate Grandpa's Masonic emblems, you can get pictures of most of them (or very similar) at Harry Klitzner Co.'s Website. The Harry Klitzner Co.
