The last of the final primer has been sprayed on the inside of the bonnet, now the task continues to block sand the car smooth for its final trip in the spray booth to receive the Glasurit 90 Line Waterborne finish. From the bottom to the top no area is left untouched, it is meticulously sanded and prepared to receive the same quality of finish on the underside of the car as the top panels.

The tedious under coat work is now complete, the poly coat has been block sanded in preparation for the final primer. 3 coats of Glasurit Primer have been applied to form the final surface that will be prepared for paint. That surface will now just be block sanded one last time in progressive grits to 800 grit. In preparation for the final base coat / clear coat finish to be applied. Now you can see the clean body lines and proper gaps , as you would expect for a proper show car.

The tedious process of final fitting is now drawing to a close. In order to bring you back up to date since it has been awhile since our last post. The Jaguar received a proper Series 1.5 Bonnet, replacing the Series 2 one that was on the Jaguar when it arrived. The entire 1.5 bonnet was striped down to bare metal, all inner structures media blasted and repaired. A new center section and lower mouth were metal finished to match the original fenders and structure.

Andy uses a lightweight filler to prepare the fenders for the poly sealer coat.
