good luck with that approach. it's not like doing drywall. you could paint just the sanded spots... but you have to clear the whole thing anyway...

good luck with that dude. Do the whole trunk and be happy that you wont have to fix your half ass job later. My god, paint the little holes, wow you obviously have never done anykind of body work or painting before.

Spot repainting CAN be done, but it is rather tricky. Colour matching is a lot harder to do, as the rest of the area could possibly have some fading. On a small area like a trunk, it would be SOOOO much easier repainting the entire trunk. That way you have no colour matching trouble, and as was said on here before, you can then clearcoat teh entire trunk which you would have to do anyway. I'd say the same thing goes for a hood. It would just be easier in the end to do the entire panel.

if you have a rotted hood I would just get a new one without a spoiler. If you really want to do it right. weld the holes or fiberglass from the underneath. then fill with body filler, then finish with glazing putty. Then you want to prime with an epoxy based primer, paint and then clear. That my friend is how you do it the Wrightie way. hehe

Where does one purchase a new HOOD with a spoiler?? I checked Ebay and couldn't even find one on there.

would you like out a plate underneith and then fill the holes with filling compound sand and paint blend?

grind down around the holes to bare metal. weld the holes, grind down smooth, weld them again if there are still pin holes. then when you got that all done, put some filler over it, sand with 320 until it seems nice and smooth, finish with 600 and then you gotta paint
