These set of photos show the different phases of repair work needed to complete this project; remember if the body work is not correct the paint work won’t be either.


Once the fiberglass has been re-shaped back to its origi- nal form, I use flexible body filler made for plastics that can be sanded and primed with a durabuild high build primer. Once this is cleaned and tacked off it is ready for painting.


This is a finished fender after being painted and clear coated. Once this has dried completely it will be wet sanded with fine wet/dry paper. Usually any grit between 600 and 1000 grit will work fine. After this step is completed and cleaned then you are ready to begin the airbrushing stage.


Now that all panels have been properly repaired, painted, cleared and sanded, now they are ready for the sketch work. You may wonder why I clear cut first then airbrush. After years of custom work, I find that it is much easier to wet sand airbrush paint and pencil marks off of clear coat than it is to sand on the base coat alone and possible and the paint itself. I will be using my Peak X-5 airbrush at an air pressure of 45-55psi. I try to free hand most if not all of my work, it give it a more realist and original look.
