Hood off the MG

1) Took the hood off and put it on a stand at my body class.
2) Started sanding with a DA (dual action sander) with a 36 grit paper.
3) Started working on the dent on the front edge of the hood.  We banged it out with a hammer from the underside and then filled what was left with filler.
4) Sanded hood again. This time with 80 grit paper.
5) Flipped the hood and sanded the underside of the hood to prepare it for primer.

 6) Applied 4 coats of ppg primer.





 7) Applied one coat of guide coat.
