Primer

I'm still working on the main body, but I've primed several of the other parts. The left cowl needs a lot more work before it's ready for paint. I smoothed it out a lot, but with the smooth primer coat, it's clear that it needs to be smoother. Here's a shot before priming. The spot filler covers a lot of the fender but it's very thin (.030 max)
Here's a shot with primer. In this photo it looks smooth, but in person, it still shows a lot of ripples plus some dents I couldn't see before. Butterfingers! I dropped the front fender when priming with the second coat. It was looking so good. I had noticed two dents that still needed attention before dropping the fender. Now the count is a bunch of scratches plus a couple brand new dents. At least they're small.
