body work- HELP-skyline body kit
i just bought the skyline kit in urethane and i have a few fitment problems, not major, but id like to do somthin about them. i have some gaps between the kit and the body, i was wondering whats the best way to fix that? possibly counter sink a screw then body fill over and sand smooth? or is there a filler that i can use to mold the kit? i was thinking silicone or a silicone based caulk because it will stay flexible and not chip after i paint it. or should i just put my fiberglass talent to work and try to smooth and mold it out with some resin?i wasnt sure what would adhear to the urethane.a friend of mine was saying that some shops that know what theyre doing use a product called seam seal to fill in those gaps. any help or comments would be appreciated- thanks
do NOT use silicone because the paint won't sick. use 2 part urethane adhesive and follow the directions well. also, i wouldn't mold the bumper to metal because the difference in flexibility will cause it to crack.
It'll probably never be perfect, but countersunk and covered screws with urethane filler is probably your best bet. I wouldn't use any fiberglass or bondo with the kit because like has been suggested the kit will expand and contract with the weather and anything but a urethane based filler will definately crack.
