Sandblasted some smaller parts
Vw logo needed some attention before epoxy and filler 🤨
shortened the stud because vw logo was too far away from the nose
To bad i can’t paint the exterior this year 😢
By the time i get the exterior fine sanded and ready for paint it will
Be way too cold for painting here in belgium 🇧🇪
polisher will need to stay in closet for a while more 😄
was already excited to try it out

Nice work. Do you have the little rubber washer seals for the studs? |

Never seen those seals ? I’m just gone put a dot of window sealer on the studs
Will do a better job of sealing and and fixing it tight. |

Do not know where the problem lies
Can’t seem to paint without the orange peel …
Will wet sand the bus anyway, but would be nice to do a better job 🥺
more reducere in the paint, airpressure, temperature ?
my opinion the spray out of the gun is too thick
