Very bored in the wet weather so i though i'd give the bonnet a tidy up.. pics to follow..

Hope it lasts a little longer than 12 months.. I sanded and primed it this time lol:clapping:

If you have photo bucket then its a Breeze mate. My preferred method. I also use the Motorculture App now as most pics I take I use my iPhone and the MC App will load directly from my phone.

Hey tiny, did you realise that by clicking on the photo everyone can see all your photobucket pictures. Just in case you didn't know.

Painted the bonnet with a roller. Looked good, but then I burnt through the paint when buffing and ended up finishing it with a spray gun.
