The fins got a coat of CWF and sanding.
On the left is the follow-up coat of Duplicolor Filler/Primer .
On the right is the filler/primer sanded using 220 grit. This removes almost all of the gray filler.
After the 220, 400 grit smooths the surface and fills any removing grain the CWF didn't get.
The nose cone also got a good coat of filler/primer and sanding.
Everything was ready for the first coat of gloss white, then the nose cone rolled off the patio table. I have to go back and fill the small dings.
Here's a strange composite picture.
So you don't round off the shoulder lip:
TIP: Set your left thumb tip right at the shoulder edge. It works like a "bumper" stopping the back and forth travel of the sandpaper held in your right hand. Your left thumb stops the sandpaper so you can't round off the shoulder edge.
You must have taken that picture with three hands :^)
