It's funny. I just loged on to ask if wax paper would work as a release agent seeing as how I'am familiar with it in model construction. So thanks RKH for that .02 cents. Also a big thanks to all else for all the info. I am off to Autozone in the morning.

thanks guys

You have every right to be proud of that job John. The finished fenders look very nice. Nice set of pictures too. :thumbsup:

WOW! Your pix look great. But based on your comment about the last pictures, you have a way to go. Here is a link I found which might be helpful to you: http://case-mods.linear1.org/case-mod-1 ... se-part-1/

I'll start tomorrow on those final (clear coat/buff) steps in that computer link.

Thanks Chris

No you didn't mislead. You don't know me so you covered all the bases and I hit only those that I felt applied.

Infact, my next father/son project will be a boat. Inspiration....Doug Hodder. (nothing fancy, just a small electric kayak thingy)

I think you'll find that a boat is also an incredibly rewarding project...great family fodder...and the neighbors will go crazy!!! What Now!!!

....good luck and keep us all posted on your projects....especially the tear... :thumbsup:

Great work on those fenders, John! :thumbsup:

The final step thanks to Chris C and his link.

I followed the instructions and sprayed 3 layers of clear coat, sanded with 2000 grit and finally buffed the remaining haze out.

Very little haze in the reflection. Pics:
