    How did you start the process? I have a sandblasting cabinet. I was thinking about blasting everything, then starting the sanding and smoothing process.

    Thats what I did first! I media blasted all parts..

    Then straighten what I could with hammers of sorts..

    then aplly body putty, next my favorite, sand,sand, and just when it starts to look good yup you guessed it sand some more.

    when all looks well and smoooth lay down some paint..

    then your clear.. this paint has three grey pearls in it and when I put the clear on I put just a small pinch of esscence of red pearl, and I mean just a pinch..good luck ridz
