    Lightbulb VK Rear End

    Hello again every1. Im just wondering about the rear of my car. The old calais had a run in with a fence post a while back and i've been having a chop at panel beating. The dint was in the right side, at teh very rear right on the end of the boot compartment. right rear side of the car in other words. All i did was beat it out to roughly the same shape and then use bog to get it nice and smooth. Its a terrable job, and i was just wondering what a panel beater would have done. I suppose the ultimate fix would be to put a new piece in. Ideas?

    Get another tail light and bumper and make sure they fit ok before you worry about finishing it off properly. If they fit ok just sand the bog back until it is fairly smooth then get a pressure pack of filler primer to spray over the bog,wait for the filler primer to dry then sand it back with240 grit wet and dry then it should be good enough to give it a squirt of paint. Use a sanding block when you sand it back so you get it nice and smoothe.
