A) make sure to size down pictures correclty in paint, drag the white to the edge of the picture.

A) thanks for the info, this is the first pictures i have posted

B) i layed 2 layers of fiberglass strips across the molded area and then i used body filler to smooth out and blend. and lots and lots of hand sanding, i dont have my own air compressor yet

i am going to re-paint it captiva blue. i was debating other colors, but for my first paint job i think i will just stick with repainting it back to stock. less headache of getting into door jams and engine bay.

no, i have a buddy rite down the street that has been doing light body work for a local used car lot. he said that i can use his garage and set up. i also picked up a painting book and i have been searching previous post on here to try and cover and problems i might have before i start. so with my research and the help of my buddy i hope it comes out sweet.
