China XS, Shed to shiner

[Grant]

Very productive day today.

Finally MTFU and painted by roof black...
I think it looks the nuts in black. Needs some more flatting and cutting, but gonna leave the lacquer over night to harden a bit better before i do that.

Sanding down the roof:


Ariel hole filled and sanded... Tip: Use a 1p for the larger hole and a 5p for the smaller, and fix them to the inside of the roof. Works a treat!


In primer:


First coat of black:


And second, with my pikey sun roof filler:


And how it sits now after lacquer, flatting and a LIGHT cut:


Needs loads of work to get the orange peel out, but for now im happy. Will get on the machine mop tomorrow.
Oh and speaking of tomorrow, did this to save a bit of time:


Going to de-lock the boot, so fixed the plates and a 5p over the holes....

Happy with today's progress, and looking forward to more tomorrow!
