Default Spoiler and badges gone now all better

Alright so months ago I removed my spoiler and all badges off the trunk. Well I had quite a few holes there from that so today I took care of them.

First I grinder away the paint.
Then mig welded the holes (plug welds)
Then ground them down so they were down a bit
Da sanded the trunk with 80 grit
Then put some filler in the spots and sanded it again with 80 then finally with 180 on a long board
After it was all smooth raddle canned it with some primer sealer.

Very nice! Having a welder around is always handy. Where do you pick yours up at?

Looks good. My Mig is junk. Thought a small one would be good for exactly this stuff, but it's just not enough power to do anything.

Uh oh.... Do you I see project coming??

I like the look of the badges myself, completes the look of the whole rear end area... JMO

The filling, sanding, and primer looks great. Always nice when the DIY comes along just as you want it.

I might have a R154 for sale...... HINT......

Came out good, but like other people mention sand it with a finer grit and use a better primer.
