So managed a few hours up the workshop this evening.
The news is.... The humps and rear deck are finished!






Primer looks patchy in this shot because it was fresh on out of the gun.






Not really the rear deck area but the flash line on the Offside wing still needs a small skim if I sand it any more ill risk making the fibreglass too thing, 5 minute job on Saturday.



Primer looks patchy on the face of the hump here as I ran out so just gave it a dusting.







So bit of a landmark, For those that are interested im using an etch high build primer for the final prime that will be wet sanded with 320grit before paint.

One thing that really helped get the final finish in a reasonable time today was my new set of sanding blocks, seen these on EBay for around £30 to £40, my paint shop had them on offer for £19.99 less 10% discount as I had it with paint etc.



The really useful piece was this one, really handy for the transition between the humps and the deck, gave a really good consistent pressure and finish, its foam but much much firmer than you would think.



Lots of different profiles:




All except the teardrop shaped one just take a standard hook and loop circular sanding disc.



Till next time
