I kind of like it. The sanding bodywork for days is what I don't like.
It actually depends on the kind of sanding for me. I don’t mind the long straight flat stuff, it’s fairly easy and goes quickly. It’s the mind numbing and finger cramping sanding of small intricate areas like on these filler panels that I despise.

From the lyrics of Buffalo Springfield's 'For what it's worth'....

"There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a (paint) gun over there
Telling me I got to beware…"
🤣

These are action shots - work-in-process. The thousand words will come later.

What was the grey stuff on the grille edges in post #3495 (<-- that there is impressive...)?

Short answer? A colossal **** up. I had a wee bit of an issue that cracked the primer in those areas, so they are all stripped completely down to bare plastic there.
I’ll explain in a bit more detail when I do an official update.
