Yes, its been along stretch from front to back, but the boot is now done: wet sand with 2000, clayed, two passes with M105, two passes with M205, all with PC, then with a hand pad along the rear fins.

Hi Greg, I have just done a mudguard on a 77B that I bought to tidy up as a run about. The guard was badly crazed by sun damage and it was a scary job for a novice like me. Very hard to match BRG and did the top coats twice to get it to match. Happy to add my experiences. Pete downunder
