Wings Painted (Well one anyway)

I painted both of the wings with high build primer last weekend, so this weekend I sanded them down ready to paint.I’d also filled the holes in the valance panel with weld, and I filled and sanded itl ready to paint as well. I shot the valance with etch and high build, then got the wings cleaned up ready to paint them all with white and two coats of green. I got the white on and was just finishing off when a big fly landed in the paint. When I pulled it out of the paint, it left a bad mark, which I tried to fill back in with paint that ran.

I couldn’t put the green on over the run as it would show as white when I sanded it down, so I tried my best to smooth it out with no luck. In the end I had to leave it till next week to sand out and re-paint. I did one coat of green over the other wing and valance anyway, then left it all to dry for half an hour. Once it was dry enough to move, I packed up for the day, and lay the valance on the front of the chassis. It was then I noticed I’d filled one of the holes for the grill as well, so I’ll need to drill that out before I do the next coat.
