I sprayed the car with the PPG Epoxy snadable primer for the first go around. This primer works well in that it will stick to pretty much anything and has good filling properties. The downside to it is it is not cheap but none of the PPG stuff is but it all works very well.

We have not shot the trunk or the inside of the deck lid as of yet, but they will get a good cleaning and be primed and painted along with the rest of the body

Well, at least it is one shade again but I am one of those people who does not believe primer is a color so its back to work.

We broke out the 220 again and blocked the primer coat out and filled a lot of the small dings and scratches in the car at this stage. There were dingers in the hood & trunk and a few door nicks along the sides that all filled nicely. The big time work was going to get those 7-foot quarter panels smooth. Since this was beyond my limited body work abilities I enlisted the help of a fellow Mopar fan, John Gaddy, who knows his way around a DA.

The results came out smooth and even with just a new coat of filling primer to finish the job.

While John handled the sanding I followed him around and sprayed on 4-coats of Marhyde filler primer. This is a good primer that fills very well but won't break the bank

As you can see the primer fills and smoothes out the surface getting it ready for it's final sanding.

Between the sand-colored primer and the blotches of black guide coat the Runner looks ready for Desert Storm!

Here it is all washed and ready to get its new coat of blue paint.
