    Hey Steve, I got a lot of help for my paint from these guys here:

    http://autobodystore.com/forum/index.php

    http://www.roadsters.com/filler/

    here's another:

    http://www.autobody101.com/forums/

    I found more I just can't find them, I'll do a quick search and get back to you. That first link I found the best.

    I can tell you what I was told if you're going to bare metal.....

    1. I spread the filler and let it dry to a cheese like consistancy, used a rasp like tool to form down the high spots, let it dry about 20-30 minutes then hit it with 36-40 grit to shape it, add more coats if necessary and repeat. Finish it off with 80 grit.
    2. For the glaze I spread it over everything to fill in grooves and pinholes and blend the edges, sand with 80 to get the shape and 120 for finish.
    3. Sprayed primer sealer and two coats of high fill, I could still see some imperfections at this point but after lightly wet sanding with 400 it came out really nice.

    I used a single stage with no sanding or buffing so I'll try to find you that link.

    Cnile64- no problem I'm interested too!
    Sean(SGO)- thank you as well, I'll start reading up on the sites you provided. I took Daves advice and got a DA sander and some various length blocks for automotive sanding. I still Have a couple of holes in the window channel that I want to patch with steel plates the then fill. I figure it will be alot easier to do with the hood off, and engine out, than later, so that and getting the compressor sorted out re my priorities roght now. On a possitive note Summit has a 20% sale on all tools right now, which includes the startline paint gun combo by Devil Bliss dropping the two gun set, with cleaning tools etc. to about 100 bucks, so that's my next big purchase along with the compressor stuff.
