How would you guys fix these gashes in the side of a cab I just picked up?
They aren't horrible but they are in pretty visible spots and I'd like them to look better.
I'm not looking for perfection here. I realize the correct way is to probably bondo them, sand, strip off the black vinyl on the whole side and redo it but frankly that's too much work.
I'm just looking for them to look much better than they do now so I'm thinking mask off the undamaged areas near the damage, fill with wood filler, sand smooth, then paint that area black to match the surrounding vinyl as much as possible.
I've attached two shots showing the damage from 2 different angles.
Thoughts? Comments?
