slopped some bondo on it, gotta get more tomorrow. wanna sand it down all smooth, no seams from the wood edges, no screw holes, nothing. then im most likely going to paint it black/really dark gray, thinking of using a textured paint, but a VERY thin texture, so its just barely noticeable.

nice work man! I love the trim piece Idea and I love using round-over bits they make everything look nice! I found when using my round-over bits if you do it in to separate cuts you don't get burns!

so for example if your round over bit gives you a 0.5 rad, then the first cut should be 0.25 (quarter inch) deep then the final cut should be the other 0.25 deep! make sense, sure it takes long but the results are nicer!

but what you did also looks great!

well i've been laid off for almost a month now, so thats why progress halted.

starting a new job next week making alot more money, so once i catch up on some bills, ill start finishing this up (didn't have money to be spending on fiberglass and stuff the last month)

this didnt cost much for the paint, so i finished sanding it pretty good, and hit it with some texture. i put about 3 coats on, looks REALLY clean in person IMO. they didnt make it in any colors i liked, so i hit it with this, and then im using a gray hammered satin finish over it. it looks like it matches my suede pretty well, and i like it better than black.
