Well yesterday I realised the error of my ways, and sanded the putty back off the door.(The putty I have is NOT designed to be laid straight over steel, body filler, or paint). I then laid down three coats of primer, sanded, and then two coats of putty, sanded and sanded some more.
You can see what I think of sanding in the photos below...
You can see the black enamel coat, and the start of the flanges. I am using scraps of .9mm aluminium for the flanges this time as it can be bent and holds its shape which is helpful in following the curves of the door.
Wish I had of just used acrylic clear instead of black enamel, as I could have rubbed it back and waxed it by now... I hate waiting. The black enamel was still in a gun from another project. Laziness, gets you every time.
I still need to relocate the water temp sensor as well. I just cant gather up enough interest to go and put my hands back in the engine bay around those turbos.
