A skunk in the works

[Sci85]

Awesome work SV. I have some plastic repairs to do myself and now I know how!

[SVSooke]

Thanks Sci,plastic welding works great for the pieces that are not ABS.For the ABS ones slurry is the best.Speaking of that:



Filled the repairs with bondo and primed it up.

Did the tank to,found a few more shallow dents so I filled those.



Used self etching primer on the tank.Need to use filler primer to get it prefect but I'm pretty close

Here's where I have a problem:



Two different primers have caused the tails paint to "check".Can I just sand the primer smooth or do I need to sand all the paint off?

[Sci85]

I've usually had to sand it all off and everything close by and make sure it's absolutely pristine before spraying again. Good luck.

Nice progress Greg!

On the primers... I just know what Dale and Larry would say, sand it back and start again... and I reckon that makes sense. If your primer is having issues, imagine what the top coat's going to do... sorry to say that though

Yeah I started a thread on the problem http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=190192 .Looks like more sanding

I feel your pain... The first paint I laid down on the tank was mottled because I hadn't researching painting with pearl paints... my technique was all wrong! I didn't have to go back to bare metal but I had to sand it back a bit and start again....

[SVSooke]

Sanded off the tail to bare plastic,well mostly

No checkingOK a bit where the reflector goes but I'm not worried about that.
