Title: touch ups
Post by: NoRestraint on June 03, 2012, 05:53:00 PM

Good Sunday guys, I've got a few links of the pictures here of the condition on the driver's side bow. Looks like somebody used auto paint or something because it's flaking off. What's a cheap way for a do-it-yourselfer to fix this up? Thanks guys

Bout' the only thing I can come up with that wont cost a fortune is to feather it out using some sand paper and get it down to like 600 grit and hit it with some gloss black Rustolium, That crap will stick to boogers and butter.

Looks pretty bad... :thumbdown:

alright, it just keeps peeling back. Now I'm toying with sanding the whole thing and going white. I wonder if I am capable of doing this myself :screwy:

if you start sanding make sure you got a couple of cases of brew and about 3 of 4 friends to get it sanded up pretty quick....
