Prepping the Fenders for Painting (Part 2)

Hi

I have been working on the fenders for a while now. The paint has been stripped and the fenders have been sanded down to the bare metal on both sides. All the rust has been removed on both sides.  To do that, I drilled out the rivets for the rear fender hinge, as well as, the fender brace.

This weekend I have filled some of the small dents with extra fine body filler and I have sanded the body filler down.  I am nearly ready for the first coat of etch primer to be applied.  I will sand the fenders again with a 600 grit sanding paper (to make sure that all the small holes are filled).  I will then paint the fender in the matt desert khaki and refit the rivets.
