Project Front LP filler; trim + finish... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Schrade · 09-11-2014

I got what I paid for. Hmm...

I suppose that an officially licensed piece would have been $3x as much, so considering a $50 $-tag, not SO bad (seller is 'racecomposite' on eBay).

It's a sturdy piece. But it had finish jam in the lettering recesses. And the 'primer', well, see snappics. And the axis of perspective is NOT accounted for.......

It squares up well in the front fascia, but does protrude 1/8 - 3/16" on the lower, so some sanding will be necessary on the rear - looks like the 'wings' are deep.

Then some White + Polyglass resin-mixed paint, till we find a Black spraygun for the whole car....................................

the one I bought, from someone on here, was very rough also. But the body shop did a hell of a job with it

Yep same here, sent mine over to my local body shop and when I went to pick it up, the guy said it was not a very well done piece and needed a lot of work. He ended up spraying it twice, wasn't happy with his first attempt.

I think I DIDN'T get what I paid for...

Dremel, sandpaper, Dremel, more Dremel, still not a good dry-fit yet.

First coat of 60/40 WHite / PolyGlass is laid.

And the conCAVE surface in the lettering, to START with, makes it NO easier here...........
