Body in finish primer
09/10/09 22:58 Filed in: Duetto | Restoration
As with the doors, blocking the epoxy primer on the car reveled numerous flaws - nicks, dings, etc. These were all addressed with skim filler. All the lead-filled joints from the factory needed attention, along with the significant work necessary on the weld areas of the nose.
Over the past few days I have been able to get three good coats of primer-surfacer on the body proper. Here is the result. I have already noticed several more small flaws which jumped out after the primer was on. These surfaces still need to be block sanded 220, then wet 400. Within a week or two, I hope to have it in the paint shop to be completed.
More work on the nose
Quite a bit of masking!
There is an engine under there!
