Default Finally filled and painted the tail panel

I got an extra panel for $20 and a guy at work said he could fill the letters and paint it for me for $50 so i said what the hell go ahead. Well needless to say i was impressed. He has worked part time at a body shop for years. Used some kind of 2 part epoxy to fill the letters. Basically just had to pay for the glue and he did the rest for free
