Making progress slowly but surely. This drivers side fender was pretty beat up after I stripped it to bare metal. Some areas had filler 3/16 thick. With a dolly, hammer and slapping spoon I got the panel a lot straighter to with in 1/16th inch + or -.
I want to make sure I'm doing the correct procedure. So please chime in and let me know.
1. Stripped panel to bare metal
2. Da with 80 grit 3/16" random orbital
3. SPI 700 then two coats epoxy primer
4. Sanded with 180 grit revealing low spots
5. Applied body filler, sanded with 80 and 180 grit.
6. Sprayed two coats epoxy primer
7. Sanded with 180 grit revealing some low spots.
8. Body Filler and 180 grit.
Sprayed two coats of epoxy primer.
Fender after it was stripped, then da with 80 grit and two coats of epoxy. Hopefully you can see the damage the fender has.
Sanded epoxy and first round of filler
Two coats of epoxy
Sanded epoxy with 180 and another round of filler
Sprayed two coats of epoxy today. Fender looks good with some minor waves and one area around the wheel arch needs attention.
Am I doing this correctly?........ As of today Fender looks good with some minor waves. Is this the time to use filler glaze, then one more coat of reduced epoxy before spraying high build?
