Mod'n Roll: dextiny

I went to my local hardware store and pick 2 tones of metallic paint just to found out that they look almost identical when you apply them... so I decided to use them anyway... so here are some pics...
More to come, mod on!

nice look

Nice paint.

Thank you guys... I will try to make it the more metallic I can...
Today I decided to play with my favorite material... bondo or body filler... but here is the twist I developed a technique called "Magic Elixir" a few years ago... that consist on making the spreading of the body filler on the part much easier than the traditional way... so I will share it with you just in case somebody need it for future or present use.
First you need some disposable plastic jars or cup (they must strong or the mixture will melt it)
here is the bondo or body filler
this is what will make our body filler go to creamy or liquid estate
(Fiberglass resin) I try several thing when I was testing this technique and this was that give me better result than any other chemical.
now we pour the Bondo, the resin, the 2 hardeners into the plastic cup and mix it until we get a nice even color depending on the body filler you are using...
here is Hunter supervising what I am doing...
when your done mixing you mixture should be looking something like this...
this is the part I will apply the Magic Elixir...
it should look like this when you finish... nice and even... it will save you a lot of spreading and sanding time...
Hope you like it... feel free to use it and ask me any question about this technique...
Now let get back to work!
