Light bodywork repairs

Hey all,

After washing the mud and dirt off of my 2a, i've noticed a few hairline cracks in the fibreglass.

How would i go about repairing these? I was thinking it would be a case of sanding the area down to be clean of paint, cleaning it, apply some kind of filler, sanding that down, then applying a primer and rolling some paint over it.

Am i correct? Can anyone reccomend a filler or process for this?

cheers

That looks like quite a lot of cataloy (body filler) with that amount it will always crack.
for an easy fix grind it down with a 80 grit flap disc on a grinder & fill it with p38,
sand flat & re-paint for small pin holes & imperfections on the surface you can use top stop(which is just a fine body filler
if your fussy about the finish) if you have any bare metal (that the filler doesn't cover)
it should be etch primed before painting

Okay, awesome, thanks for the reply. I'm not terribly fussed about the finish as long as it's not horrendous looking.

Thanks for the advice, i'll get on it when i get some days off
