Ask and ye shall receive
I should apologise to all of pakwheels for not updating the thread because the kind of work thats going on (denting) isn't very glamorous and judging progress can be a bit difficult from day to day work , but rest assured the work is going on in full swing and the denting is 80% there
There was a tonne of work as I decided to bring the car down to its bare metal and remove any filler/bondo and get the metal smooth and aligned properly with the car , some rust was repaired and covered with the best etch primer to protect it from rust and the wheel arches and underbody were coated in 3M rubberized stone chip (excellent stuff) .... the painter was annoyed as I kept on him all the time and suggesting things that according to him are not meant for pakistani climate cars , and only good for where it snows or next to costal areas , the genius was suggesting a nasty black tar based Cr@p to use on the fresh metal pieces to protect them from rust , basically making your car smell like freshly paved asphalt every time the outside temperature goes above 25 deg C
I pushed him to use AUTOCOLOR deruster solution P800-127
other products used :
P565-597 Long Life Etch Primer
P275-61 Activator for long life etch primer
P850-1692 2K Low VOC Thinner
Next up is paint prep and actual painting for which I will make a detailed post , feel free to point out any errors (body gaps are not finalized so please refrain from telling me that my hood is not aligned to the fender , I know everything about panel alignment)
