Ford F150 Custom Painted Interior - The Perks of Paint

Ford F150 Sprayed Adhesive
Once a rough texture had been created, Bulldog adhesive promoter was sprayed on the inside and outside of the pillars.
Ford F150 Masking Tape Applied
Masking tape was applied to the outside, providing a pocket for the hole. On the inside, Javier used a flexible plastic grid, which gave the hole a base structure.
Ford F150 Grid Template
As you can see, the grid will serve as the template for the filler. The grid's hole would allow the filler to seep through, and when the filler dried, it filled the entire area.
Ford F150 Lord Fusor 102
The Lord Fusor 102 is a two-part plastic panel cosmetic adhesive. Once it's mixed together, it dries quickly and creates a hard and strong surface.
Ford F150 Spread 102
After mixing it, the 102 was applied using a plastic spreader in and around both holes. Two layers on the inside were applied.
Ford F150 Smooth Top Coat
A light layer was applied to the outside of the A-pillars, then after it dried, Javier used 320-grit sandpaper to smooth down the top coat.
Ford F150 Air Palm Disc Sander
Using an air palm disc sander, the plastic was sanded to help the adhesive and plastic blend.
Ford F150 Sanding Block
Prep is what separates a DIY job and a full custom from a professional paint shop. Javier didn't hesitate when it came time to use a flexible sanding block, ensuring the two pieces were level and smooth.
Ford F150 Small Holes
Using a pick, Javier placed small holes into the hardened and sanded 102. This helped the primer to fill in during any type of heat or paint shrinkage.
