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

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?Comment

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.Comment

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

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

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