PM sent, ...
Thanks 5.7, Hope it's still looking good!
And yes, it's "Him", ...
Oh, & to answer the question, ..., I actually use Zaino's Plastic Polish to finish it up, after a few beginning steps to get to that point anyway, ...
Good Luck!
(I have one now ready to go if anyone's interested!)

Pontiac Fan, do you know how I would get one that doesnt have a key hole. I think it breaks up the flow of the back end. I dont know if it can be done. I would even take a plastic piece that goes over that part so that if needed I can pop it off in a hatch opening emergancy.

There are a couple of people here that have tried to do the 'cover the lock hole' on the filler panel before tho.
Never have seen a photo of anyone's finished product tho.
You can buy the simple little keyhole lock cover, which is nothing more than a 3/4"-1" sized poly-like decal.
I imagine there's probably a way you could use body filler & then paint it to match, but I don't think it would really match that well. Just wouldn't be the same.

Any cheaper if I send mine and let you do it, or just to buy one?
Thanks,
