    Just bought a mustang

    Been out of the mustang game for awhile . Picked up a stock 89 notch today. Original 5.0 car that's had some crappy owners lately lol.
    Got it pretty cheap.

    A lot of miles like 240k. I think for rest of summer I'm just gonna just drive it as is and fix the appearance. Needs some body work. Ill reprimer it. Probably look for a set of pony wheels and paint em a graphite color. Then decide what to do over winter

    Any chance it is an SSP? Where'd you find it?

    Question on the trunk lid with the Platidip, Where you sanded, it still looks like there was differences in height in the before, but looks leveled in the after. Was the surface feather edged better than the picture look or did it fill in those areas and level it out?

    I have got to do something with the bottom of my air dam and was considering giving this a try as well. Just not sure how well it needs to be sanded. In this case I'm only doing the underside where the yellow shows through from it dragging, but want it to look nice too.

    It leveled it out pretty good. I ran out of paint so I can still see some spots that were higher but I'm thinking another coat or 2 and it won't be as noticeable. Ill report back tomorrow once I get more cans.

    No. It goes on like normal paint. I've tried that method already on a cracked bumper.
