Half the car (body) is now naked. Finish the roof over the next couple of afternoons. Dreading doing the guards and interior.

Hey Matt make sure you get a pre-treatment onto that before undercoat

What can I say. As soon as you find a bit of nicky you gotta know what's under it (nothing!) so you bare the whole panel.
Roof almost bare now too and most of the sides.
Will be etch priming before the barrier undercoat, then high fill then colour right?

metal protector or rust preventer which ever you'd like to call it, etch it then high fill it, say 3-5 coats depending on how wavey the pannel is, then guide coat and BLOCK the pannel back with say 320 wet and dry then re guide and it you have any doubts on the straightness of the pannel RE-BLOCK it with 800 wet and dry.
the block part is the important part. (people who do it by hand are just being silly if the pannel is wavey as there hand just follows the waveyness and doesnt make it nice and straight) 😉
