one last painting question....
OK almost done...puttin the primer on the radio bezel after sanding off all the old paint last night....BUT....i looked a little closer.....i remember somebody talking about an outside rubber coat? it looks like i may have sanded some off.....is the piece ruined? will i be able to put a few coats on there and it will be hidden? if it's ruined im prob gonna primer the rest....aannndddd put it back in...until i can get another piece....

i think I used about 100 grit to get the rubber stuff off. After that it was lots of bondo and fiberglass (for the touchscreen, you won't need any of that, haha) then several coats of primer, sanding up to 600 grit, lots of color, then sanding up to 2000 grit, then lots of clearcoat. Didn't come out perfect, but it looks good enough for government work!
