Here ya go
I used glazing and spot putty and just rubbed it on with my hand, sanded it down with 220 grit. put a few coats of filler primer then sanded that down with 400, then regular primer over that and sanded it with 600, then base coat and clear. I still have to wetsand this and buff it out but im gonna let it sit for a few weeks so it can cure. I used duplicolor truck, van, and suv spray...toreador red for anyone who has SRTC its a pretty close match
