Well as it turns out, my car is lower than a the top of a tailgate on a 2000 Chevy Silverado.
Luckily, it happened hear at the dealership, and of all people, it was the used car manager that did it. And of all trucks, it was the truck that the painted had just traded in. But he came and told me right after it happened, and said he'd pay me to fix it, and he gave me the truck to drive around until then.
That was Friday, so today, I had some spare time to tinker with it, and wouldn't you know it, I just happened to have my camera, and thought I'd do a little fiberglass repair 101.
If you want to get ahead in the game, you gotta grind son!
Little bit of masking tape, little bit of cardboard, little bit of this, little bit of that, you can get with this, or you can get with that..
Its all in the mix people, just gotta put the proper amount of hardener and you're good to go. Just make sure that you soak that mat like a sponge.
Once hardened, peal to reveal your new you.
Don't let that fame get you playboy, you still gotta stay on the grind.
Puddy time. (not my best spread, it started to dry on me)
And last but not least, sand as much as you can until you call it a night. (I thought this was a cool pic, all fun to drive
)
