Larry, thanks.

I've have a couple of small pin holes from the filler in one area, which is usually the result of either too much hardener or having it start to "kick-off" on me while I am spreading it. A little thin glazing filler will take care of those.

Just been very hot here this week, and it has kept me out of the garage the last couple of days. Planning on getting back in there tonight to pull the grill and other bits off the front of the car so I can do the blocking sanding up there. Then another round of small fixes. The blocking revealed a few shallow low spots that need to come up and a couple of high spots that need to get tapped down.

Then another round of primer and blocking.

My favorite part is the wet sanding. Much more Zen like, and way less dust. Hopefully I can get that once I can do a full round of blocking with no trouble spots left.

Pretty sure another gallon of primer is going to be needed as I have enough for one more full coat, but I am sure there will be some spot priming needed as I go on and I still have the entire trunk to do.
