Today I have been painting

Slow progress,

etch primer on

first of 2 layers of high build primer

and finally a quick and dirty coat of guide coat, ready to be flatted back. When its flatted, any black marks left are imperfections that need fixing, before a final primer coat is applied and then the top coats.

Before I do this, I am going to turn the bonnet over, give it a quick coat of primer and then 2 top coats. Once that dries, probably by lunch time tomorrow I can then turn it over flat it off and recommence painting the top.

What is good is to note the reflections from the semi dry paint - there don't appear to be too many large ripples yet, but famous last words, tomorrow night will tell.
