finishing painting the hood

after doing the body work, I painted everything with primer.

I sanded the primer to make everything look smooth

then I put a sealer coat on and covered that with two coats of color enamel.

the color doesn't match the old faded paint, but I plan on painting everything else to match the hood.

TADA!

painting the hood

I've been working on the hood for quite some time. out of all the panels on the truck, the hood was the worst, so I started by working on that.

first I had to strip the hood of all of its paint, then I removed the big dents with a hammer and dolly and a stud gun. then all of the remaining dents, I covered with bondo. I sanded the bondo until it was nice and smooth.
these are the nuts, bolts, brackets and hinges that go on the hood. I sand blasted them to get the old paint off.
