   Hi can any1 tell me if they have one of the above, if so how did they do it or does any1 know how to smooth one?? had a go with a little sandpaper but seems like its just eating the light stuff and if you go too heavy your just gona fuk it up lol!! Thought about using high build primer and putting on a few coats of the stuff to get it built up then smooth it from there but it might crack not to sure any help appreciated

   id sand it all down first mate then apply some filler just spread it over to fill all the imperfections then use some high build primer, should work out fine

   i used bodyfiller on my old corsa one, that seemed to do the trick, just sand it all out smooth with a thin coating on.

   I did one in my astra. I used filler primer that cracked off.... i used filler that cracked off....
   
   I eventually covered it in fibreglass, when it was smooth it painted over nicely and didnt crack it was a pain in the arse gettin everythin fitted back to it tho. I had it in for about 3 months until it got written off.
