touch up paint
Sunday, November 21, 2010 8:43 PM
how do i put this...i had a wing on my cav. A big one. But i took it off, and welded the four holes with a mig welder. Now there are four spots of bare metal on my trunk. I understand that no matter what i do the trunk isnt going to look like the wing was never there, because it did warp a bit from welding. What im asking is for some advice on making it look at least a little better. I have the small touch up bottle of the factory paint and a spray can of it, as well as primer and lots of bondo. any guidance on the steps i should take after i have grinded the weld spots flush with the rest of the trunk would be so awesome.

Probably easier just to get a trunk from the junkyard and paint it to match your body color.

I vote you try to smooth it out with the bondo you have and paint it. After you probably screw up pick up a new deck lid from a scrapyard. That way next time you want to do bodywork or paint something you will have a little practice .
