More Priming and Preparing

I got some more work done on the engine bay this weekend.

I'd left it with only one coat of primer on it so I spent some time rubbing this down and sanding back a couple of small areas of filler that I'd used to perfect a couple of minor dents (the biggest of which was on the bonnet landing panel where it had obviously had something dropped on it).

Eventually I was pleased with the finish so washed down all surfaces and gave them a couple of hours to dry in the sun while I put up the Gazebo, which would hopefully afford the wet paint some protection from things falling on it.

It's now had three coats of primer on it, with a rub-down between each coat with gradually-increasing grades of Wet & Dry. Here's how it looks now, just one more rub-down with 800 Wet and Dry and one more coat of primer before it's ready for the top coat of Teal Blue.
