The front that I have been doing is now done  Was fun to do. Learned a lot. Though it needs a bit of stopper to fill in some holes in the filler.
It also has a friend too

dont worry bout the pin holes yet, get a good few wet coats of 2k on primer on there and it will be fine, if u can still see the holes flood them with primer and then if there still there stopper after u rub it down cos remeber u can spray over stopper!

dont flood with primer. rem it sinks.. just prime as normal and use ur stopper then to fill ne remaining holes or even better give it a wee light skim of stopper now and thatll fill the holes and let u finish it really fine

I can confirm it is a Steiny rear bumper, and it is totaly completely different to a CDX rear.

Yea, this has taken a hell of a lot of time to do now. But at least everything is straight. I hope, can only really tell when the paint is on 
It feels good though. I have got the feel now for ripples in stuff now which is good

We are using very fine primer on the other bits. It's nice and shiney so will show up everything. Then I can go over it more. The guy who is teaching me all the stuff is a perfectionist. It's rubbing off on me
