Default Fiberglassed door pulls! pics!!
I finally finished glassing my door pulls. I took them off the door panels and took a razor to them.
I cut off the molded rubber that GM uses. The rubber is about 1/4" to 1/2" thick in some spots.
I wrapped them in 1/4" fleece and started shaping from there. Then paint and clear...


Paint and color sanded.. no clear.


Cleared, wet sanded, and buffed..
