I think if most people had access to grinding and sanding pneumatic tools and a paint booth with all the sprays...this is doable... Wish I had access...

[woodt3]

What kind of patch do you use?

ez repair patch 05888...the gray filler is 5887...that stuff is great but can get really expensive...before applying anything, you must use their adhesion promoter or you risk the chance of delaminating...you can bend that thing in half and still won't crack...

[jlego]

He's right here's the stuff i used for adhesion..
