A Gentle Rub Down:
I lightly went over the whole car with some 800 grit paper.
This was enough to remove the water damage and the worst of the tarpaulin scratches.
It also highlighted a few spots that I will have to come back to with some 400 grit at some point.
I also discovered another school boy error when I tried to lift the bonnet…
Yes, I'd forgotten to leave a small gap between the bonnet and the body shell...
So the painted surfaces had stuck together.
Thankfully, separating them only left a small mess.
Note: The 400 grit will take care of the 'lumpy' edges.
I also gave the scrapes on the inside surface of the bonnet a quick sanding too.
Before making sure the two surfaces didn't touch again.
Finally, I found a couple of old duvet covers that I could cut up to help protect the paint from the tarpaulin.
I just need to find one more to cover the cockpit sides.
Looking back, it is now almost 3 months since I put the first bit of filler on to start prepping the car for paint.
But at least I am getting a little bit closer to applying the final coat of BRG. <

So until next time, take care, Paul.
