Josh filled in were the hood light went, all the holes were the hood liner clips went. He also filled and smoothed the seams were the hood indention goes in. Just doing that really cleaned up the bottom of the hood before he started spraying.

Yes he does! You should see his Father In Law's C6. It is the best paint from front bumper to a$$ end I have seen with my own eyes. This young man is a budding superstar. We all should get behind talent like this!!!!!
