Saturday Slog - Part 1:
I've grouped today's work together, rather than follow a strict timetable…
Bonnet & Body Shell
I cleaned up all the previous sanding work, which includes all the finishing filler too.
Then added etch primer to the 'fresh' areas and 'topped up' the primer on previous prepared areas.
Note: I will do the rest of the wheel arch return lip after I have removed the wheels.
Unfortunately, there are reflections in the primer than make it look like I missed a few bits.

Bonnet Inside
Once the etch primer on the sunny side was dry enough, I cleaned up the inside.
Before the bulk of it was given a coat of etch primer.
As I still need to add some filler over the 'nose job' joins.
Obviously, the etch primer really shows up the fact that this is not a smooth surface.
But as I am going to be using textured black paint, it is certainly going to look better than it did when I've finished.
