I would think so ...that way there is IMO actually less work when applying the paint to the fender. I cant see having different areas of thickness of paint though not uncomon. It is easy to get the panels off sand, clean, and paint the fender after the holes have been filled. Looks more consistent and the panel requires less wet sanding because the paint was applied to the whole panel and not feathered into the original paint. JMO but bodyamn and pascal would know more. It can be done but the way you suggested Vic is not the way I would want it done. J

I love the stock GT emblems, but if I had the money I would get them shaved completely. Along with the trunk emblem and keyhole.

I know a lot of people will disagree, but, I think the clean, simple, retro tri-bar pony looks the absoltely the best. When is doubt, go with the original.....

I'm also a fan of the retro tri-bar ponies. I picked up a set off of ebay and added my own touch. This was a fun mod. tiny pieces of sandpaper and used my touch up paint pen to fill in the bars.
