The ONLY thing that sucks is when your body shop guy paints high build primmer and paint over it! You could paint the two separate but I wouldn't recommend it! Just by a lot of masking supplies. As for the bonding, like said before they do this all the time. They have jigs made for this and besides it takes at least 4 other guy's, epoxy, fiberglass resin, and a lot of things to get just right BEFORE the epoxy takes hold! Very stressful when I did mine! AGAIN, save your money elsewhere. Matt
The talk of at least 4 other guys to handle the epoxy, resin, and I guess srews/rivets kind of troubles me. I could probably round up three more but none of my friends know a thing about cars or this type work. It's all a mystery to them. I've done some fiberglass work before, including removing Corvette panels and bonding on new ones - and managed it by myself. Does it really take this many folks to handle it. What kind of epoxy material do they recommend?

Thanks

Dan
