Hey bud, filler is really coming along, looking much better. What i would do know is sand it down to a 120 grit and see where you are from there. That one spot on the back right that is showing should be fine. All dependds on how much is left around it. But normally when i get to that point, just about this point i mean i start with finer grits. I would go from there. Then off to the races you are. But great start

It is really looking good, keep up the good work!
Diesel, what they use is epoxy primer, let it dry, then scuff with 120grit. Apply your mud and go from there.
