Diy Hands On Projects

First two coats of Bondo applied, after sanding I think I'll need just one more thin coat, then it will be ready for primer.

Upon further review, I might just run a bead of black caulk around the mirror housing to hide the glue line. And yes the construction adhesive has the mirror more than secure, that thing ain't coming off!!

You might want to finish it off with some red vinyl decal stuff. Just go to a sign shop and see if they have something in the scrap pile that will work which matches close. They produce so much scrap that you'd be amazed what you find and can do with that stuff. A hair dryer and some times to put it on, it'll last long enough and look good from 10ft away.

My girlfriend's car is all done. We just need to park it in the sun and let the new paint "fade-in". The mirror looked better with black caulk vs. painting the glue line with black paint.

It's not perfect, but the car is presentable.



OK... what's next??
