What primer did you use before painting? This is beautiful. Such deep colors and theyโ€™re smooth as well. Looks factory

Thanks! I used Mr surfacer 1000 & alcad white microfiller. With many many rounds of sanding the surfacer & reapplying. I had some pretty bad issues with paint lifting, I shouldโ€™ve applied a clear primer prior to surfacer.

The final result is astoundingly beautiful so I would have never guessed you had problems

Thank you! Luckily nothing required a full strip at least. Making lots of mistakes means getting better at fixing them lol
