That is a good-looking truck you have there. The paint color on your truck looks like Canyon Red, the same color as mine. I can't wait to get mine repainted! I see you are in the South Carolina Chapter. I am from Florence myself. What part are you in?

You need to scuff up the surface area down to bare metal real good for Bondo to adhere.

Sooner or later what you did is going to flake off.

"A" for effort though......

Just plan on doing it again in a couple years.
