I did my initial blocking this morning with 180. I couldn't be more pleased with how the bondo turned out. It's a straight door now! Woohoo!
One more blocking with 240 and reprimer today.

What do you think of the holes Nick, brushed too?
Ok, stupid question time that I'm pretty sure I know the answer to:Here it is in final primer. I love how straight I got around the door handle.
First off, yes, 180 then 240. I will start with 320 with this second layer of primer. It should block fairly easy, I'm thinking after seeing the results of the first primer coat. I may jump to 500 then even 800. If I get to 800 without breaking through the primer, I won't use sealer for the final refinish.Ok, stupid question time that I'm pretty sure I know the answer to:
You got through both the 180 and 240 on the same application of primer right? And your next layer will start around 320 and go to 400+?
Just curious since I saw that tiny bit of bare steel on the corner there.
On a custom, "sheltered" fair weather cruiser like I'd assume the blue car to be, why do you need to seam seal these areas? I get that the factory would've done this to ward off corrosion, but a factory build is intended to weather all kinds of adverse conditions.Got it seam sealed. I used a heavy body seam sealer because of the curvature of the door. Flowable ss would have run right on down that door.

Are you planning to drive this car in the snow, on salted roads?
With the sun lamp on it-I really dig the grey-my only concern is-in the shade/overcast/night-it looks black..Next to another wheel.
What do y'all think? Should I paint the holes dark grey as well?
Picture with the sun lamp so you can see the grey.
or you have an outy that needs to be whacked down.
I have heard that whacking down your outy can cause you to go blind. Better be careful.....
First, side view.With the sun lamp on it-I really dig the grey-my only concern is-in the shade/overcast/night-it looks black..
Have you done a side by side with your painted wheel and blue door? (Door looks Amazing .)
I'd vote either paint them kona blue or polish the holes lol.
