Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6

[Dum-Dum]

So washed the car today, decided after playing with some black tape (that wouldnt stick very well) that im gonna paint a 1" strip pf the rear window edges to make them look more OEM.

Also over the last few days smoothed and painted my bonnet.

I cut the backing to the badge off then epoxyed in some bits of ally strip and box section so that I didnt need too much fiberglass. I then filled with fiberglass till just below the level of the bodywork and packed it in front and back so I only need a thin skim of filler

Then fillered, sanded, fillered, sanded, fillered, sanded, fillered, sanded and wet and dryed it to shape.

   

Then about 8 coats of primer and it was wet and dryed back and re masked then about 6 or 7 layers of top coat and thats how we stand.

The paint match is terrible, the paint i have is ph2 bianca and was a great match on my door handles but its miles out on the bonnet that is lighter and whiter being a ph3 item.

This picture dosent show how bad it is.

   



Anyway heres how she stands, need to finish repairing my fiberglass grille and paint it.
Oh and note the GTi badges have fallen off the sides cos i didnt like them without the 6s

   


Just need to wait for it to harden and its a week till im next off so then i'll go over it with the rubbing compound and try my best to blend it in. (dosent look too bad from a distance though)
