oooooh....i like the graphics. very nice. hey garret....what color is your car? like...exactly. Thats pretty much the exact color i've been looking to paint my z. lol

thanks guys! this is great stuff to know for future...too bad i can't do too much too it now except for re skimming it, which i think i will do. The rattle can idea is just to keep it sealed until it goes to paint in about a week. I'll just have to see how the real paint keeps it sealed. should i go and get some marine stuff and re-skim it with that? or just work with what i've got here and hope for the best?

ooops lol. well so i should have just only used the fiberglass reinforced stuff? o well. Im gonna get some rattle can primer and try to seal it off as best i can tonight. Only reason i didn't go metal like i would have liked, is cause i really don't know what im doin with welding. and didn't wanna screw it up. I hope this will hold for a little while atleast, as there really isn't much of the filler there, most of it got sanded off. Anyway, like i said, live and learn eh? oh yea...i live in Bellingham, Washington. Rain capital of north america anything else i can do at this point to prevent it from giving me more headaches than i need in the future? EDIT: just a thought...what if i painted some of the fiberglass resin over it once i'm all done?? will that help seal it off?

So i finally got around to shaving the rear end this weekend. Decided to go with fiberglass behind the holes. Filled in the holes with this fun stuff. First layer/attempt Second layer and dry....gettin there. Sanded it then smoothed it out with this. All sanded and smooth Still need to add another thin layer cause of some lows i can still feel. But i'm pretty pleased with how its turned out so far. Anyway, this whole thing is a learning experience right? haha. If any of you body shop guys are just cringing in your seat right now, please let me know what i should have done right. thanks!

what about just filling it in with fiberglass/bondo? my plan for the bumper holes in the rear end is to put some fiberglass strips in the back then fill it in. does that sound reasonable?
