Default RE: Cutting a Body????

well i had problems with my firs body

story--
i trimmed it but the rear shock tower had to stick out ok i fixed.sprayed the color then put a heat lamp in to help it dry fasted BAD IDEA i should have let it dry over night but i was so quick i didn't think it felt dry but i put a few layers in so i was like ya its dry so i put the fuel protector coat in so it didnt take the paint off if my lid poped open or a miss fuel sprayed it and put it on the truck well it wasnt that dry u could touch it BUT the under coats were still wet and that fuel coat locked it up so put it on the truck and the paint just pushed into a little pile around the mounts and pipe and any were the truck touched the body so i have little holes in the body that u can see threw now cause i was to quick, next bod im going to spray a coat let it DRY spray a coat let it DRY then spray the fuel coat on let it dry then let it dry for 1 extra day to let the paint set well then its set
hope u learn from my mistakes

ps i put the stickers on and put the heat lamp to close and melted the front of the bod i was so sad but hay i learned thats what counts and i trimed the front up now and its not to bad any more
