So over this past weekend been working on a friend of mines car. This is the first car I have done since being out of school for a week. It had already had damage and repaired before, but a lot of it was shady and was in bad shape. Especially the front bumper cover, fronts of the fenders, and hood had tons of rock chips. So I went back over it as best I could and Its come out great so far. BTW I suck at remembering before photos

did i here someone callin my name :evil2 :rocklol like i said this car was in rough shape. he even got denied by some collision centers. the passenger quarter really needed a stud welder to it to pull out but I didn’t have access to one. I told him the door skin should be replaced but he said he didnt want to deal with all that. So I said ok and did what i had to do to get it straight lol.

thanks jinx!
there was just a slight mist of overspray on the window. what would be the best way to get that off?

Good Job, that looks really good! You should have weighed it before and after to see how much bondo that sucker has on it! :blink:

razor blade :pcorn:
i used a razor blade on the window once and my teacher just flipped out saying its doing nothing but scratched the window. i did use a little thinner on a spot before work and came off pretty good.
thanks for the compliments guys! i may already have another job lined up soon
steel wool takes it right off looks pretty nice i like the dark red color 😉
