Yeah, I agree, I thought the bar stool legs were bent so I tossed in it it the trash!
I think that I am going to sand it 80 grit and spread another fine coat of glazing putty and try to re-shape it.
It kills me when I have it so close and almost ready for paint. I know it will bug me if I dont get it perfect before paint.
Thanks again guys.
okay, I am feed up with trying to get this stupid video to work. Here it is. For some reason the sound doesn’t work. What I am saying in the video is if you look at the chair in the reflection you can see the wave I am talking about. The spot where you see the primer sanded off is not the problem area. Follow the left leg on the chair reflection and you can see the problem. I have done the area three times and cant get it right.
Any tips would be great.

No the rear quarter panels are rigid. I have that problem on the two front fenders. What is a backing pad? Is it something that you stick on the back side that stiffens the panel?
I took a video but and it is taking a long time to up load. Maybe tonight?
thanks guys.
you answered a few questions.
As for the glove over the hand trick Bondo, the panel is so straight you cant feel anything. If fact when you look at it, it looks really nice. What I am talking about is the very slight movement when you weave your head back and forth. It’s really slight but visible on Black and other dark colors. That’s what I was wanting to know if that can be blocked out after clear?
I have used a guide coat and there is nothing left after sanding. But when I stand back and look down the side I can still see a tiny weave. What am I doing wrong?
I am going to use my camcorder and try to show you guys. It’s so slight, but I’ll try.
Hi Ryan. good luck with the world of bondo. 🙂
well, I tryed spraying the high build primer with just a splash of acetone and it came out great. 🙂
how much time do you have in to this point?
When you are done with it are you going to put anything over that area or will it the left a clean look?

hey CB, yes I have use the TC’s paint from the Restoration line. I like it.
As for the best paint, what ever you can afford. They can range as cheap as $300 for the kit to $1000! Just make sure that you get good clear and use a good gun, that will make your painting experience a lot better.
Good luck with the silverado.
I might try it non-reduced tomorrow evening if I can get the car ready in time. I cant get over how bitchen it sprays. 🙂
oh yeah, I forgot… I was looking online at the guns at Harbor freight.
They have different guns.http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=90977

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=47016what gun are you guys talking about?
thank you guys. Now I feel better that I didn’t ruin my new gun.
I just cant get over how good it sprays paint and now primer. 🙂W&G remover? I have never heard of doing that? Spray it through it and wipe it down with it? Hummm, learn something different all the time.
Soooo, just to make sure. Does primer hurt paint guns at all or is that just people talking about something they dont have a clue about?
Thanks, I took it all apart and sprayed acetone through it a few times. I always clean my guns very well. In fact if you were to look at them you would think they are new still.
If they are cleaned good are they okay to use or is it harmful on them is my question?
