Hello everyone
I am continuing to block out and final sand my body panels, prepping for paint (which I thought I'd have finished months ago). Finished the boot lid last night - photos of my progress below. I final blocked this out in 400 grit dry, using powdered guide coat to show me my surface scratches and texture. The white paint is an epoxy I used below my gray primer (for contrast and to tell me to stop sanding before I hit metal or filler). Below the sanded boot lid photos, I have included two photos of the underside of the boot lid. I remember removing disintegrating horsehair from between the "X" pattern reinforcement and the boot lid skin. Now that the horsehair is gone, I am wondering if I should use some sort of filler in this location? I could add some rubberized caulk-type seam sealer in these areas to bridge the gap between the skin and the "X" reinforcement. That would be easy to apply prior to paint. Any thoughts on whether this is necessary and what product I might use in this application? Thanks much.
