Reply to "Filler and finish on shells"

OK it's time to submit a progress report to the teacher on the students progress

This is the JB Kwik after I gouged out the spot putty.  I know it's too high, just takes more work.  Cured for three days before I touched it.

This is after several passes with dry 600 paper.  The generator bracket makes for a real PITA in working this area.

This after 800 grit paper.  Kind of hard to tell the contours with finess.  It seems to feel pretty good - but that's to my uncalibrated touch.  You can see the shell and a little left over putty in the lower right of the fill.  Is the next step to retape and shoot primer?  I think another pass of e[oxy would be too much.

This is the rattle can primer I have (I know Pat hates rattle cans).



Comments?  (not on the rattle can).



Two other questions.

I would like to use the SEM interior paint, but seeing as how this is a reletter job I don't think that would work with new decals on a semi gloss surface.  True False Ideas.

What is the difference between black and blue sandpaper (both 3M)  what little knowledge I have is real old school and I don't trust a lot of the new fangled things unless I converse with someone first.  (like the non MC aircraft stripper that I have no choice in using now).
