Here's those fenders after a light helper coat of Iceing glazing putty has been shaped.
Next a couple coats of PPG's 285/280 epoxy primer will build and level . |

After a few pulls with the pins a vixen file helps to level as well as spot out remaning highs/lows. Bodyfiller is ok but not a as much as it had... A final sand with 80 grit cleans and preps for filler.

Thought I was tired but I was off my game with a chest cold a couple days there...
![]() Back in the swing of things now though, whew , we'll get this tank in primer this weekend. I talked to Amy the pin stripe lady today and reserved some time this coming week for the stripes so we need the black on there shortly. ![]() |

Now while the epoxy primer on the tank cures we'll get the undersides of the fenders preped so they get paint before the show sides.
With a black guide coat misted on the primer any lows will be highlighted. I put 3 healthy coats of PPG's 280/285 epoxy primer so there should be enough to level in the bodywork. If not we'll refill with a little Icing. With black things need to perfectly level. |
