Default Dietrich plate indent custom filled BY ME! (pics)

I know this is a repost, but I'm really proud of myself!

Here's the steps.

Start

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/58264/dscf0103.jpg">

fiberglass application

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/58264/fiberglass1.jpg">

sand like crazy...

then...
body filler application 1

sand like crazy... then...
body filler application 2

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/58264/bodyfiller2.jpg">

sand, sand, touch up, sand, touch up, sand...

It took about 36 hours from start to finish, that's including sleeping, and letting each layer dry, eating, a fishing trip, trip to the grocery store, etc...

not too terribly hard. it needs a little more touchup to get the curves EXACTLY perfect, but I'd say I have another hour or two work on it then that part will be done and I can move on to fitment when the bodyshop is done with the rear.

Default a white primer with high gloss clear coat over it, just in that area... I was

using the reflections of very straight edges to check the curvature to make sure it was perfect. not 100% necessary, but very helpful. I'll be sanding it off with very fine sandpaper before it actually goes in for paint.
