trying to start a thread on painting (all inclusive) and bodywork (removing dents, etc.) because, well I want to learn it and im sure there are tons of viewers wondering/wishing the same thing.
If you have bodywork/Paint know-how, share here! -------------------- same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said

im going to be molding my duckbill spoiiler to my hatch in a week or so.
i would recommend using a fiberglass/resin type filler for the basic shape, then using a lightweight body filller (evercoat dynalite or such) or a glazing putty to finish it up. the fiberglass will just build up quicker, and its stronger. but it sands much harder. thats why i would use the glaze or regular body filler over the top..just my reccomendation.
