Next step is to top coat, probably with gloss black bumper paint.Moderators: notoptoy, S Allen, Solex68
The texture coat is for texture only. Here is another pic of the filling process. After veeing out and filling with foam, and trimming that with a hack saw blade, I tapered the opening back some more with a cutting wheel in my 4.5 inch grinder. The larger wheel works much better than a dremel for this. Then I filled with Bumper Bite by SEM for repairing plastic bumpers. It stays flexible. I applied numerous coats sanding between them. I filled a good portion of the area where the cracks were with probably a 3/16 to 1/4 thick layer of the Bumper Bite, to hopefully get a lot more strength, so that it should last a long time. In the transition area near the center the filler is probably 3/8 thick. This process is kind of a combination of four different ones that I found. Hours and hours of sanding.Jujuman wrote:that is amazing, I see the last after pic is upside down but that looks phenomenal.
spray foam, regular expansion, sawed down to sculpt. did you sand at all.
what do you suspect the longevity to be?
I assume bumper paint may have some strength to it.

20x30 9.5 foot ceilings. roll up doors. - no power yet, no lift yet
moved in the 3 roadsters,
2 on skates
I set from amazon.com 6000lb
the other set from harbor freight - (I kinda like these better - have locks and a handle)
received my seat covers in the mail
pulled my 67.5 seats out of storage, to rehab them.
took the rails to the carwash to de-gunk (its cold)
and bought some pretty new jewels for the red one.
pics to follow
Jujuman, whenever lifts come up on another forum that I visit frequently, two posters are pretty much always favored over four due to the greater accessibility of the underside of the car when those long wide ramps are not in the way.Jujuman wrote:8X8 DOORS 9.5 FOOT CELINGS
