Looks good, especially with the black hood...Of course, you probably knew that already, that's why you did it. Keep the pictures coming.

Someday I plan on spraying the hood red.

I forgot to take a photo of the front bumper showing all the surface rust and dents. The rust and chrome was ground and sanded off and epoxy primed. Had to do a little bodywork

Epoxy primed again

Sanded

Slick Sand

Block sanded with 180 and epoxy primed black so I could see if there were any imperfections

Sanded again and epoxy primed white

Three coats of SPI red next day three coats of clear

Sandblasted bumper bolts before priming and painting

The rear bumper needs a lot of work

After straighten, welding and a lot of grinding and sanding I sprayed at least 3 coats of SPI epoxy and started the bodywork

After a few times of block sanding and priming I sprayed 3 coats of SPI Red the next day 3 coats of SPI Universal clear

quick question.i see you put polyester primer over epoxy and i have seen the mepk eat or soften the epoxy causing lifting and failure.i never used spi and usually use dp40.the poly doesnt soften the epoxy at all?

I've never had that happen and have been doing it since 2005 using SPI epoxy.
