YAYYYYY i finally got just enough of a bright spell to do the wing woohoo remember yesterday?? about what i was saying with stone chips, here is a before the before ,the before, and after LOL does that make sense?
SO starting with the stone chip, this picture is just like the one i worked on, removing the layer of paint around the chip will make it easier to sand down and make it level and flat
In this Picture you can see the result of rubbing down to the primer and making a level platform on which to prime. 
This is the finished result of that stone chip, and also remember what i said about rubbing down the whole panel to take off the shine? well you can quite clearly see that is hasn't affected the primer at all and it have a nice smooth finish.
But anyway back on subject
After papering up the important bits like the lights LOL i gave the wing a quick rub over with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust that may be laying on the paint work, this is important as you don't want tiny bubbles under the paint as they will show through
another handy tip, if your planning on replacing thing like light! and you already have the parts to change over, then just remove the parts before you spray, although you can do this anyway as long as you don't mind it taking longer. :)
Once done wait for the primer to dry and then gently remove the scrap paper that you used peel away slowly as over spray can peel the fresh layer of paint away from the body.
Then Take a step back and say to yourself, "wow that's great and I did that" and you can be proud of yourself for the job you have just done.
Remember we all have to start some where at sometime. just enjoy your project and take your time, Rushing can result in a job needing doing again . Anyway lets see if i can do anything else today and I'm feeling horrid and the weather is on the change , back soon hopefully :)
