fiberglass bodywork sucks... i hate fitting and drilling. taking a short break to bitch 'n whine before i go spend the next few hours sanding the primer.

no wonder ppl charge an arm 'n leg to do this shiet...

i finished painting over the weekend. sorry, no pics. blame larry since he never came over...

i still have to wet sand the clearcoat to smooth it out. hopefully, i can do that tonight.

once i'm done i'll take/post some pics.

not a professional job but close enough methinks.

big thanks to larry for letting me borrow a tool

If I remembered correctly, I think you said you were going for some Honda white, similar to it's original factory color.
