Bongo Fury

this is a recent picture of betty with the recent work done. if you look closely you can see the patches where the stickers used to be. ive tried tcutting this a few times but its not making any difference

so what i want to know is, can i go over this panel with some wet and dry sandpaper and then relaquer it or am i getting a bit over confident
am currently saving the pennies to get simon to work his magic on another piece of the bodywork and feel that this could really done by me.
so what do you think????

I can't actually see in teh photo. I'd forget about it and let the rest of the van slowly fade to match. Are you sure it's the laquer or is it the paint underneath?

if you look carefully (its very clear to me ) you can see that where the arrow points to is darker than the sides and i can see clearly where the stickers used to be. its driving me bonkers
think i might have to have a little go. if it goes wrong, i will just have to pay and get it resprayed it

Ahhh I thought that was a shadow.

no shadow might tackle it at the weekend..... if im feeling brave

How about covering the bottom panel with an orange reflective vinyl...?

I think you might get a reasonable result by masking along the crease line and respraying the bottom strip. Better using two pack lacquer and a spray gun if poss. Also soft masking is better, moving mask back a tad after each coat.

in fact wear a dust mask for the task like you auta, try not to look like a looter
while you dustin the boot wiv da top coat zipped up fly till it touch dry.
