Last weekend I sprayed a few coats of High Build primer on the rear fenders sanded that round down with some 180. Sprayed another two/three coats on Wednesday and today I started out with 180 then sprayed it with some cheapo black paint for a guide coat so I can see my progress while lightly sanding with 180 then 220. Sprayed another coat of guide coat and sanded that with 320 until the guide coat and 220 scratches were gone. Sprayed it once again with guide coat and this time sanded with 400 had some sand through to metal on the edges so I stopped there and hit the sand thorough areas with some epoxy.

Was hoping to get them sprayed today but will need to wait until tomorrow or during the week.

I was thinking of spraying the underside of the fenders with some Truck bed liner since the under sides are in pretty ruff shape. I figured that stuff would cover quit well and would help against chips.

Does anyone know what Packard used to spray the undersides of the fenders?
