Remind me again, once down to bare metal like these pic's show, what is the first primer you're putting on? Then what goes on after since you're taking so long before the final finish will go on? WOul that work for me actually driving the truck a few years until I get it where I want it?

Oh that fender is no where near finished but I got it in high build primer so I'm happy. The steps I did was metal finished the best I could (hammer and dolly work) so that it would not lot of filler, then I epoxy primed it, then filler over epoxy, blocked the filler, then epoxy again (because while blocking the filler you will hit bare metal in some spots), and then I use high fill primer, which needs to be blocked. That's where this fender is this point.
What goes on after? It depends on how straight the fender is after my next blocking session.lol Most likely another coat of high fill and block that out. My last blocking session will be with 600 grit before I can shoot color.

It has and I'm sorry for that, but its hard to take pics of block sanding. The fender is no where near ready but I figure any pic is better than no pics.
Plus I consider a lot of these guys my internet buddies so we play around alot.
