Oh I KNOW 
The "stock" paint/primer on these things is a bear to remove!! I did find that bead blasting (not sand) really helps remove it real good.I had the control arms on mine down to shiney chrome look till I got to the other one and it had some bad pits of surface rust that would not come out. so a nice machine color ( silver/gray ) paint worked just fine!

Thanks, I have the blueish polyester and using it for fiberglass only, never tried it on SMC though, well that'll be my easter project.
I want something that is almost as strong as real plastic welding done by professionals.
I did find a local source for 3M Duramix SMC Panel Bonding Adhesive (#04050 Rigid Fast Set, black) the bad ting was the price. $100 for a 200ml dual 2 component tube + $180 for the needed 3M gun + $40 for a 12 pack of mixing tubes but it's VERY tough and bonds to almost all automotve plastics.

That is one beautiful interior you're putting together. "Awesome" just doesn't do it justice.

Is that a rebel flag in the picture? I can't believe there are rednecks in Europe. You Must be in the South..

Wow.
just, Wow.
I could see the car with a whale-tail, only the lip around the top skimmed and sanded down some, and a really suave, molded notch out of the bottom, so to curb the rear-end curl effect of the wind much like the stock spoiler, with the right kind of lip to produce a touch of downforce, and the looks it could bring, I think it'd be completetion.
But it's equally as awesome with the smooth backend, and really, more unique looking without one.
Said by me, big (huge) fan of spoiler-less fieros.

That's a perfect spot for a blazing "Fiero" or "Pontiac" or something badge.

Looking awesome, at any rate![This message has been edited by timwdegner (edited 05-21-2006).]
