debading boot?

20th January 2006, 12:42

i have taken of the CITROEN and the SAXO bades of my boot,now im left with the lil holes. to fill it out using body filler would it be just a case of puting on the mixed filelr over the holes, letting it dry and then sand down, or would i sum how have to block up the holes first?

also would it be possible to go to halfords or a similar place and buy the exact colour of my car in the spray cans?

id weld a plate over them from the inside then fill from the outside then sanding

you probley could buy the colour but id recomend letting a bodyshop spraying it so you get an exact colour match and good spray job

but if your confident enough have ago

using filler is a non-permanent solution,after a while it'll simply fall out, but if your going down that route you'd might aswell paint over the filler with a touch up pen, that way you dont have to worry about any inperfections on the rest of the boot-lid.

in the long run you'd might aswell get a 'pro' to do it!

Do what Paul said and get a bodyshop to do it the right way.

well i've jus sprayed both of the badges black and put them back on.looks much better this way as it goes with the tinted rear lights and my whole red and black colour scheme.

but cheers for that anyways.

Chrome looks tacky as fook imo, black will look good.
