the step by step for me was as follows.
1-read as much as I can on what to do and use.
2-buy the file
3-cut out file
4-crazy glue the mask up
5-three layers of resin on the outside
6-fiberglass the inside
7-about twenty thin coats of bondo hand sanding each one to keep the shape
8-spot putty
9-three heavy coats of primer sealer with a light sand
10-three coats of black
11-three coats of clear
12-a couple coats of mirra chrome from alsa then wipe with a soft cloth to a mirror finish
13-House of Kolor intercoat clear
14-a lot of layers of HOK candy apple red and candy wine
15-four or five layers of clear
16-polish out fine imperfections( will be a bit to learn)
17-buff and put in the display
Thanks to tons of people on this site for all the info.
Everyone was so happy to give tips.
And special thanks to BlackKoas for the file, what a great base to start from at an awesome price.
