Of interest, repairing a hole in top

Post by simso » Fri Feb 16, 2018 1:47 pm

I was asked by another person some before and after photos of how I would deal with a specific before photo I showed with a punched hole in the top.

To me its the same as all the other repairs I do, do you think this is different to my other walk throughs and warrants a tutorial or same same.

I have enough photos to make it into a walk through

I see this sort of question on a couple of other forums I'm on Steve and would be great to see your approach.

I'd be interested. Would like to see close ups of the repair in process.

K, will collate the photos I did up, personally I thought this was just another crack repair photo with some paint work, I had not taken the photos as part a deliberate walk through

Customer collected it this morning.

After paintwork, I still see flaws, but he was pretty happy
