    Opinions on finished my reiger lip

    I grabbed a new rieger from DTM FIberWerkz - not bad quality actually, and it fit perfectly! (only issue is the lip on the side and front lets is sit in from the valance a bit, nothing bad though)

    Anyway, I got some flexible filler and filled in MOST of the small irregularities on the surface of the lip. However, when hitting it with my SEM - you can see the filler and the fiberglass under the paint (it's like a change in the look of the surface - the entire lips been sanded with the same grit, but I think it's just the different materials)

    Anyway, I'm thinking primer should make the lip look uniform - is this a correct assumption? In addition, I know SEM says not to use primer with their trim paint - but is there a primer I can use if I want?

    Let me know! :)

    Maybe try sanding the filler down a hair more with 360 grit. Then use automotive scotch brite to prep it and use some primer. The paint your using does not lay on very thick, so some better preperation and primer will make it look new again.
