Body Skin 2.6 - Rear Hatch recessed panels


The top panel tock over an hour and a half alone to do, more aching fingers :(
R2D2
Applied PVA glue to seal the recess edges
(The dark/shiny areas in the recessed panels)


Applied some wood filler and then did some light sanding.
Next, masked of the areas, ready for spraying with grey primer.


I didn't mask off right up to the edge as these needed re-spraying up as well.


Applied some more wood filler in places.
Then some more primer.

Next, masked it all up again for it to be sprayed white again.
******* What a nightmare!!! The whites a different shade ?!?!?!? *******
Had to feather the edges, once dried, and then re-mask the panels off AGAIN, right on the edge of the panel grooves. Once dried, you can still see there is a difference, but now only on the panels themselves. This makes them look like individually assembled panels ;)
