MGB GT Restoration Project - Episode 05 - Prepping For Paint

In the fifth episode of the 1967 MGB GT restoration and respray project, we're diving into some crucial steps to get this classic ready for paint! Here's a sneak peek of what's in store:

Prepping the Bonnet for Paint: I take you through the process of preparing the primed bonnet for paint.

Epoxy Metal Filler Application: I use epoxy metal filler to address some affected areas; this filler not only provides excellent adhesion to metal but is also known for its durability and corrosion prevention properties.

Shaping the Wing End/Fins: I focus on shaping the wing ends around the base of the tail lights. Previously, these areas didn't quite match the tail light profile, so getting them looking seamless and fluid is a small detail that will make a big difference to the overall finish.

Wing Insides Prep: Prior to applying primer, I prep the wing insides. This involves using POR15's 3-stage process, which includes degreasing and etching. I also share an important lesson learned when I skipped this process on a section of bare metal on the inside quarter of the tub.
