update finally

havent had any enthusiasm for a few weeks as i lost my door and i have been doing my hyundai up but door now found so ive had a little go with it tonight

how i started



and after alot of fillering sanding and shouting i got to this stage
and i tried honda adriatic blue on it, sort of suited it but is a bit too dark to show its features if you know what i mean




still have that problem with the boot lol



all comments welcome

Looking good so far. I would say that the back needs more fileing before painting tho.

We all use it and is easy to use. Once it sets, it can be drilled & filed smooth.

Cheapest place to get it is on eBay, about twice the price in modelzone.

I use it to fill holes, like when I did my Dub Mini & smoothed a few bits on an EsCos WRC.
