The first stage was pretty simple, the panels had any stickers removed, then where wiped down with some paint thinner to get rid of the sticky residue. They where then sanded down to give the etch primer a better surface to adhere too. After sanding another wipe down with paint thinners to remove dust and then they where given a light coating of primer.
Since pictures speak louder then words here they are, before and after style!
Primer revealed a couple of things that need to be fixed mainly a scratch on one side cover and a crack on the radiator cover mounting hole, both of which can be easily fixed.
"the scratch"
"the crack"
Next step will basically be the spray putty, paint and clear coat stage. Later.
