Right, thats good then as theres plenty to flat back. Do you put a number of coats of colour on then flat and polish?

A good heavy coat of primmer is enough ,then spray a guide coat ( light dusting ) of black paint with a rattle can solely so you can see where you’ve flatted and any imperfections will show up .

Coming on a treat Si I couldn’t cope with more than one t4 the stress mine gives me.
I should learn to leave things alone but where is the fun in that?

Flatted the bonnet inside and out tonight. Just read page 2 of De Chav. I have 3 slight "depressions" in the bonnet i dig what Reg says about the bonnet being the first panel to catch the eye but on a wide panel like the bonnet i'm not confident i can fill them and it not show. Do i leave as is or risk making worse with filler? Pretty sure i can pick up a mint bonnet at a later date on me travels, will try and get some snaps in a light that shows tomorrow so maybe folk can air their veiws.

Have a go with the bonnet Si, its about the experience mate. I did mine 3-4 times and still think (actually I know) I can do better. I learned a lot. Theres simply nothing better than thinking I did that!

Picking up a mint bonnet is your fall back position.if after 30 attempts your not satisfied.

Challenge yourself.

Have a go Si. Like you say the worse that can happen is that you get a better one at a later date anyway. It’s all good learning.

How are you getting on with your painting ?

Nothing since last Summer Kev. Got some items lined up - homemade square side bars, another shortnose bonnet and a full longnose conversion. Other stuff taking priority though. Busy, busy, busy!

Nice1 Si. Looks good from the pics on my teeny tiny screen. Are you pleased?

[S49]

I'll know once i've rubbed it down again.But so far so good.

Why don’t you just prime the complete bonnet ?

[S49]

Trying to deal with the dings and stone chips first Kev.

[S49]

I primed the rear doors the other week, one pickled so redone yesterday.Its amazing how much you can get done when your supposed to be working.

[S49]

Primed the whole bonnet as per Kevs advice.
