Taillight styling - Toyota Carina E, 1.6L, 1993

Taillight styling - Toyota Carina E 16L 1993

Since they don't make tuning taillights on my body, I decided to confuse a little over their appearance. There will be something in this spirit as in the first photo, only the central part is not the same, so it will be a little different. Yesterday I took off the lantern, wrapped it cling film, drew the desired outlines, cut out the blanks from the fiberglass, well, of course, and made the blank.By the way, I do not advise using cling film, as resin seeps through it (I had to wipe it off with a solvent later, fortunately I quickly realized it, but I still probably have to polish it later) or stick adhesive tape in front of it, two layers are better, because even though the resin does not leak through one, it dissolves the glue of the masking tape and then only with the help of a degreaser it can be more or less removed. Today I put putties and more or less sanded, later I will bring it to mind,primed and painted in body color)

ATP for information about cling film and masking tape I will keep in mind! By the way, what about the workpiece itself after priming and painting? (glue? double-sided tape?)

Yes, not at all, I myself was in shock when I discovered that the resin seeped through the film, all the same, plastic. In general, this film was specially made breathable for food. By the way, I also did the front ones with the film, but not with food, but simple, I bought a thin one in a store, to hide furniture during repairs, smeared the headlight with grease, a film on top, well, and fiberglass. I would not advise, as they can wrap up at a technical inspection or when deregistering, there was experience)

aha understood) ATP! (Mlyn I have been living in MSC for 4 years I did not think that it would be so difficult with the material ...)
PPTs! I ran in half of Moscow for 100 rubles (roughly speaking) epoxy. (on the way he asked for 10k or 11 fiberglass) NOTHING! (fiberglass tembolee))))
I went to a shabby shop near the house ... that's just taaaam I was allowed to make an order even without prepayment))) PPC! where fiberglass will take the pack did not guess in the net rolls sell (
in the same time dvustoronku buy ATP for advice (cellophane roll of the house there - xs for what it was but I did after the first good look of your stamp for this purpose) ;-)
Well Nitsche I will find one of these days and forward ...

If for eyelashes, then a repair kit for NOVOL bumpers is enough, there is a piece of fiberglass and resin with a hardener in it, we have 180 re
