Hi this is my first post on this site. im 17 and never done anybody work before. Well i recently bought a truck that needed alot of body work. i plan on having it professionally done over the summer. well hopefully anyway. i thought while i had it though i could use it to learn some basic body and paint skills.
this is the truck itself.
Good Side
Bad Side
So what im working on is the tailgate. the guy who had it before my cousin worked for a body shop and had the tail gate shaved at that same body shop he worked at. well he wasn't allowed to work on it himself since it is his own personal truck. well the new guy did it a really messed up. there was a huge dip where the handle used to be. so i thought it would be a good thing to start with.
Before
Bondo
Bondo
Guide Coat
Primer
Base coat getting wetsanded before clear coat.
Stuff i used.(Minus the duplicolor white primer i used for the guide coat)
