And after a couple of hours of effort...
The red paint is off almost all of the front end.
The bits that will sand out have been sanded out of one side of the bonnet (ignore the edge of the centre buldge, i coulnd't find the right shaped sanding block for that)
The car has been washed down to reveal the low spots that will probably a bit of filler.
The thin line between the wing buldge and the bonnet will sand out but my neck and shoulder are to knackered to be bothered for today.
There are two grey patches on the wing which seem to repel the water. Possibly residue from the moulding process? Any suggestions for treatment as they are also likely to repel paint I would have thought.
