Gotta love the commitment of this DIY Guy.

Can't wait to see the Results.

Sunday no rain.... so it will be ok to spray etch primer after the predicted fog clears.

Cant spray when its humid, i dont have a booth.

I might spray all the primer on sunday/moday.

YoudaMan.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Thanks guys

So it looks like after tomorrow its going to be raining for a while

Might just peel off the tape for now and keep working on the little bits untill the weather drys up again.

Will get some good soda media this week, that will help with the doorhandles and the grooves in the brakelight surrounds etc.

[B-rice]

very nice work the preparation will definitely pay off.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Primer filler:

Guide coat tonight and peel the tape.

Then the long process of block sanding: filling, sanding, more primer, sanding, sanding finer, and finer again.

It will keep me busy for a while.

[D.I.Y. Mik]
