Just a really quick update on where we are at with Mercules. The shell is finally finished (primer wise) and we have taken it out of our spray booth and put all our remaining panels in the booth to be prepped for primer. We applied 4 fairly generous coats of primer on the shell and it is looking pretty good.
The bonnet is going to be painted white so the old black cracked deadener was removed. Apart from that there wasn’t too much to prep on the panels. Aside from a few light coats of bog around the boot lid, we seem to have been pretty lucky with rust and dents. Every panel is pretty straight - hopefully once a coat of paint and guide coat goes on nothing else crops up.
The remaining panels should be primed by the end of the week / early next week at the very latest. Then we’ll give the inner doors and door jams a hit with some white, whack it all together and in another week or so it should all be painted (here’s hoping anyways).
