Well, that's what I did anyway and it came up good.

Then 2 pak and do the same again, good prep work is the key too a great result.

Have had no trouble at all with mine at all and it was similar to yours - acrylic primer/putty.
Title: Re: bonnet repaint Post by: FC427 on May 22, 2015, 07:02:29 AM As there are only a couple of coats of Acrylic primer on it , I would get a pair of rubber gloves a scourer soaked in thinners and mop it off only half hours work and then you have a more stable base ........FC427......
