looks good man not to bad for the body work

here sumthing to do to make sure the work is nice and flat " get some black primer and make light passes over the trunk, then get some 400 grit sand paper and block, start to sand it and the black primer will show you were all the low spots and in the body filler."

To fill the holes... did you put anything in the hole or behind it or did you just run the bondo-hair over it??

I can still see the outline of where you filled. But I think with some paint and clear you won't see it. Especially since it's black.

Thats because the Bondo hair is a Dark Green and when mixed with the red hardener it turns a dark brown color.And the One side is bare white fiberglass and the other was bare metal so it kinda stands out since the coats of Primer were put on light and the actual bondo hair is alot darker i think i am going to hit it will a little more filler primernext weekend and wet sand before paint.

It'll crack eventually. It looks good though. Still needs alot of work. Body work is alot of work in general.

Looks good! I'm not crazy about it around the plates, not my car though. If you like it, I love it!! Did great work. It will only now get better when you have it painted!

I think it's gonna look great. Like already stated make sure it's flat If you can see dips in primer then you really gonna see it in paint. (especially black). I hope to do the same thing to my trunk before it's painted.
Didn't Dalamar already do this to his trunk lid?
