Bodywork on S10 Pick Up - Epoxy
I finished my work over a month ago, an exhausting ordeal with a few pimples but done is done.
My neighbor tells me that epoxy pimples would mysteriously show up on boat hull repairs, makes me feel a little better. I knew going into this that I was not shooting for perfection, not on a black truck. We live in a cruel world disrespectful of private property, I already have new scratches and dents since completing the work.

The kiss; an easy fix, washed with mineral spirits, pulled back some of the interior panels, took a flat bar and pushed back and forth.
Cab hole; This was repaired once before, opened it up and not a lot left to work with. I took a can of spray foam and let it form a backer (despite knowing that it may absorb moisture over time). I chopped up some fiberglass strands and epoxied them, using plastic wrap and tape to defeat gravity.
Micro balloons and or fillers mixed with epoxy resin have a pink hue.
