Scottie - Thanks for the tip as I'm trying to live and learn.

Bonus Session:
Between the weather forecast and family stuff planned for today, I didn't expect to do any car work.

But then the rain broke early and I had a couple of hours to play with.

This is the first coat of stone chip on the underside of the rear wheel arches that I forgot to photo yesterday.



The photos don't seem to do justice to the lovely matt finish.



So the first job was to get a second coat on.



I guess there are not many spray booths where you need to prevent any over spray reaching a tree.

Questions:
Is two coats of this stuff enough?
Should I paint anything else over the top of the stone chip, & if so, what?

Then I cleaned up the fibreglass and filler on the under side of the lowered floor pans.





Before putting some extra matting on the corner joins of both sides (& both floors).





Last job was to get some etch primer on the bulk of the filler and some bits of the fibreglass.







So despite my mishap with the seam sealer, the underside of the rear frame is slowly, but surely, getting there.

Once I have got this side to the stone chip stage, I can finally worry about joining this to the rear arches.

But that's all for now, as I've got to go.

Take care, Paul.
