In this thrilling episode of The Mad Mercy Mercy Logo Madness, the team dives headfirst into the challenge of prepping a Mercy logo car for the prestigious SEMA show. With a tight deadline looming, they tackle the task of smoothing out 3D printed body kit parts with precision and finesse. The goal? To create a flawless surface ready for molding. As they work on modifying the rear hatch and crafting custom tail lights, the team delves into the unique styling theme that will set this build apart.
Amidst the intense work on the body kit pieces, the team encounters a setback with a sprayable body filler that falls short of expectations. Undeterred, they pivot to using a guide coat for sanding, revealing low spots and imperfections that need addressing. Through meticulous hand sanding and strategic application of high fill primer, they inch closer to achieving a perfect panel ready for molding. However, a daring experiment with spackle for intermediate smoothing proves to be a challenging endeavor due to drying time and unexpected voids.
As the team navigates the highs and lows of the build process, they demonstrate resilience and creativity in the face of obstacles. Each setback is met with determination and a willingness to explore unconventional solutions. With the SEMA show on the horizon, the pressure is on to transform this humble Mercy logo car into a show-stopping masterpiece that will leave enthusiasts and critics alike in awe.
