The (not so) white one

[ScottieJ]

I have to agree.....but I really like this raptor bedliner. However it's driven me mad a few times when I've thought I've missed a bit as it looks white when it catches the light in a certain way

The paint finish is not perfect by all means but it's an off-roader so it's gonna be scratched and covered in mud before long anyway

you should have popped out those two little dents in the bonnet, they stick out like dogs danglies!
great work though, looks like it will be well suitable to be used!

Not as easy as you think, they are right above the support bars so there's no way to get to them from
behind. It's almost impossible to find an 413 bonnet without those dents, people just throw the bonnet up against the screen and it's from the stops.

If it was a proper restoration back to standard then I probably would have. However as it's an off-roader there isn't even any body filler on it anywhere, even with all the welding repairs.

True! now that you mention it, I've seen it many times before, new paint always make little dents like that stand out.
No body filler anywhere? can't be a true suzuki! really great to see you fix it such a great standard though, even though it will be used offroad, good way to keep a few more suzuki's on the road for many more years to come, many people would have given up on many of the vehicles people like yourself fix up/ restore!

I've never really liked using body filler tbh, I'd rather try to do a neat repair and use high build primer if I can.

Cheers, a bit of positive feedback is always welcome.

Will be starting on the lj80 and lwb soon. I'm looking forwards to those builds, it'll be so nice to do some vehicles for myself again, it's been years since I've built something for myself so I'm doing 2

[ScottieJ]
