I was not happy with the paint color, so I’m going to paint it again but use a lighter basecoat this time. Also, I’ll take the opportunity to fill in some dents and dings that showed up when I painted it.

The first step is to sand down the areas with dents and dings.

Then I added Bondo to the areas and let it harden overnight.

The next day, 20 minutes with a palm sander took care of 99% of the paint.

Sanding back the paint leaves some of the black sealer in the teeny dents and dings that I missed. I’m kinda glad they will be filled in now!

The rest of the paint was removed by hand with 320 and paper by hand.

The end result is better than what I started with!
