Whooooopppeee !!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations. Parts look pretty good.

Nice thing with using SPI epoxy is that it is a sanding epoxy. You can easily (well, kinda easily) sand out those runs and dust then recoat. You can also do like Shine, use it exclusively as a build 2K instead of having another product to fool with. I prefer the high build as the epoxy gets really tough after a couple weeks - though you do need to do a full scuff if you wait 24-48 hours after application to put anything else on it, i.e. 2K/BC-CC

Yeah, Thanks, Dave, I think there are places on my fenders that are too rough to use the epoxy as the sole building source. I'll have to use a skim coat of filler and some high build 2K to get them really nice. I've been reading a lot on the SPI forum about all the do's & don'ts. I've been thinking about using the SPI bedliner as undercoating. At what point do you think I should spray that on? I'm guessing after I finish the body work but before I apply the BC/CC, right?

-Other Dave, thanks for the kudos!! I've read a lot of great recommendations for the SPI products, include Dave's (IC2). This is the first time I've used the epoxy but given the reviews, I don't think I can go wrong with it.

Feels great to make a little bit of a progress for a change. I hope the neighbors go out of town more often. As long as I can keep the SoCal clean air natzis away while I'm doing these little spray jobs, I'll be happy!
