hard to tell how it looks without pics but best thing to do is get a shaped piece of plastic the same shape as the grove on the other side of the car. Put some p80 round it and rub it along to create the grove, put a line on first with tape or pen to make sure its straight.

think you just need to sand it down and build up with filler to you have the correct shape, look at the other side as your doing it and see how you go

yes mate, either the half round actualy gutter, or just use a down pipe and rap your paper round it, never go any finer than 80, prime it with high build block it down with 320 re prime it then 800 wet flat it

you should only need one or two skims tbh mate the more filler you put in the worse itll get, not sure youll understand the way i write this but stick a piece of tape along the line your trying to get, block down up to that line but sort of go past it, then do it the other side of the line, hard to explain but if you have the right amount of filler on there you should be able to get that shape in there pretty easy

ys it a pain?if you have any deep pin holes then yes use it, basically think to your self will the primer fill that imperfection up..no? then stopper it..whats hard about using it? if u find it hard to spread thinly get soem dolphin glaze, its liek a slightly thicker but runnier high build primer in a sachet, mix it with hardener and you can skim it lovely over all the small holes, ideal for skimming hole panels aswell because it flows out, you ever watched american hotrod? they use the same stuff to fill all the panels

yh i just think its to thick mate when i spread it, it goes on sweet but then when i go to do it again its alredy gone off abit nd it fucks it all up, nd thats the stuff they use at my college is it any good? is it easy to use ? and it does leave a good finish dont it a teacher is doing a old mini and he is using that stuff on it and i was wondering what it was, its got blue writing with a picture of a dolphin on aint it in like a packet kind of thing

yh looks like one of them capri sun cartons, with a little screw on lid..yh mate its shit hot, exspensive..but much better than normal stopper, what colours your stopper after youve mixed it up?? you need to keep your spreader as close to the panel as possible otherwise when you try and rub the stopper down the area aroudn it will be a low with the stopper beign a high
