final update before spraying..
all prepped now, metallic filler added to all treated areas to minimize the chance of rust returning, all sanded sown lovely and smooth, took us 3 or 4 times to get the drivers door perfect, but other than that 110% happy with the results. hopefully getting sprayed next week or mabey even this week.. so watch for updates
the nova looking sorry for itself but 100x better than before lol

good job with the visors, and car is gonna look top, keep it up!
TIP 1 -something that i learnt when I did my 1st respray
have you used cellulose putty on the filled sections?
If not I'd recommend giving it a skim. Filler (even the "metal" stuff) will have trapped bubbles in it when mixing - when you sanded it down these micro bubbles will come to the surface. You cant really see them - until you paint the car - then they appear like little pin holes! Even through primer.
Give it a quick skim of cellulose putty to seal the filler - smooth back with 800 grit and then your ready to paint - will save you lots of agro in the long run.
TIP 2 - if youre not removing the windscreen/rear back screen to prevent a hard paint edge where the masking tape meets the rubber of the surround, get some washing line and wedge it under the rubber to lift it up off the body - mask off then paint - the lifted edge will cause a gap and prevent a hard edge.
TIP 3 - use decent maksing tape and as soon as the paints dry get it off! Masking tape when covered in paint loses its solvent onto the masked ares and if left can be a biatch to remove - especially if its bog standard stuff!
