Just wondering what the easiest way of removing the letters on the riser block replicas is. Filling in the letters with bondo/body filler? Or is it possible to sand them all the way down? Anybody know how to go about this?

You've given a link to resin.
 So the answer is No. Ask for bondo that contains small parts of fiberglass inside it.You should use both, fiberglass bondo will have imperfections after sanding, which you will then fill up with the normal bondo. -------------------- |

Alright so, just to get this straight haha: 1) Sand it down to get the clear coat off 2) Fiberglass bondo 3) Sand down with mesh sandpaper first then with normal sandpaper 4) Regular bondo 5) Sand down again (Do I need to use mesh sandpaper first again?) 6) Then they are ready for primer and paint? Or am I missing something important lol -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily
