Bonnet continued

Tried out this stuff, worked a treat on this fresh paint but not sure how it would cope with old car paint finishes, will be trying that out later..



I went round covering 300mm squares and leaving for an hour



I continued this until I had removed the majority of the paint, I didn’t try to do too much at a time because it does create quite a mess





I started sanding back the imperfections but forgot to take a picture, shall do that later, I am sure with a bit I work I can recover the mould so I though I would reinforce the edges by bonding on a flange… First I covered around the bonnet opening with cling film and placed the mould over...





Then I cut some fibreglass roving woven tape into lengths and positioned them around the mould…



Then mixed up some resin and applied it to the tape





I will now leave that until it starts to set off then cut some strips of fibreglass mat and do the same.
