Doing a little panel work, plus some repairs, as I am on two weeks leave. I dented the sill a couple of years ago when i was stuck out bush and misplaced the jack as it was pitch black. Had to stick rocks under the wheel to get out. I did repair it a while back but noticed a few months ago it was ever so slightly buldged. Sanded the bog right back and then tapped it in about 1mm. I used a level this time to check for gaps and now have it pretty good.
I also mended the ding in the bonnet caused by the strut top breaking. Just using aerosol acrylic for now as it saves mixing up paint, plus at 8 bucks a can, the price is right. Also for ease of use and no cleaning guns the SCA primer filler pressure can actually works fairly well, for what it is. I have learnt something though. The directions say to shake the can up. This is ok but you need to leave it for 10-15mins before applying or you end up with aerated paint and bubbles will appear on the painted surface. Where as gunned paint you know not to shake it, just stir or the same thing happens. Never occurred to me before when using aerosol.
I really need to paint the entire bonnet but colour matched paint is rather expensive. Considering buying a litre and giving the bonnet a thinnish but wet coat and buying clear to build up the thickness. Although having said that the SCA white acrylic is almost the same shade as the colour matched gear I have bought before, from the paint supplies. In reality I could probably get away with SCA pressure can over the entire bonnet, because unless you take proper notice the guards don't look that much different.
