basically smooth the whole boot, debadge, delock, and smoothe there the number plate is.

Remove moulding from boot then badges. Weld up all holes and make a plate to go in the reg plate recess then weld it in. Then use a glass rich filler such as isopon and then a normal filler on top.

What he said basically. The hardest part is getting it smooth without any ripples. Took me ages to do mine, have a look at my progress thread to see what I did.

thanks for the info/ advice.
i think il buy a new boot lid from a scrappy and work on that 1, if i make a hash if it then im not stuffed :)

You can also buy a fiberglass cover for the boot its like a second layer and it just needs bonded on and painted. Thats how my boots been smoothed.

don't bother with the fibreglass covers, they crack and can look terrible and rippled
