Hi all,
I bought a bonnet that was less nice than I would like but the price was right. It is basically crazed all over. I was wondering if I can get away with a good sand then prime with some hi fill? I bit dodgy but do you think it will be OK. Work is in Acrylic.

Thanks

Not unless your building a rat rod and don't care if it shows through. If your wanting it slick and shiny. Strip it.
If it ain't BROKE fix it till it is!!

In my mind I pictured a can of paint running amok in the workshop throwing spanners and generally causing mayhem.
