little update

one step closer to paint

first of all we poly primed the repair areas of the car using lesonal polyester spray primer

 


 


then the whole car is re blocked using 240g paper then 320g

then 3 coats ok 2k primer is used to seal everything up

 


 


 


 



so tommorow we will sand the primer with 320 then 500 then 800

then il go pick up the paint when i finally decide on a colour lol
