Re: Painted back panel

Hey that looks sharp. Never seen one painted before. Did you have to do anything special to prep it?
Will regular body filler work on stainless?

Re: Painted back panel

That looks great. You should try to paint the bars connecting each letter so they disappear.

Re: Painted back panel

Good idea on the bars, I plan on painting the inside of the Chevrolet black. The filler seemed to work great I figured I'd try it out so far so good. I just scuffed it up used some filler primer and gloss black and finished with clear. Waiting for it to sit for a while longer before I final sand and buff.
