Re: My new car
@ riaanj
Thanks for the post I am trying to post from work but work gets in the way.
@ dixtoy
Thanks for post the pic
@ Herman
That is exactly what I intend to do but first I am going to treat the body work behind the panels to antirust
Then dry sand the outside and then apply a coat of clear.
Hoping to do most of it this weekend.
