Refinishing 68 gtx deck lid: help

[sinister_gtx]

Im looking to refinish the rear deck lid myself but not sure how to go about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My deck lid has some pitting that needs to be fixed as well.

If anyone from Canada knows of good restoration shops for this type of job near Edmonton or anywhere in Canada that would be great too.

Get it Plastic media blasting the epoxy coated...go from there. Good base to start with.

Pictures should would help. If your gonna repair it your self. You need some basic tools. A long board, sand paper, filler, straight edge, etc, and etc.. Body work isn't as difficult as it is time consuming. You have to be willing to start all over if need be. Learn to feather and sand correctly ( x pattern ) and don't use you fingers to sand. There's allot of good threads here and also check youtube for some basic body work videos.

If you we're referring to my post, I'm talking about the cast aluminum panel and tail light bezels.
