Pretty much gone through the whole can of filler primer, uses up quick and theres plenty of layers on there, probably 10 or so coats, the colour really does bring up any imperfections, theres one little spot i might need to see to with very fine sand paper but with black paint on rather than the mustard filler primer im sure itll be okay, leaving it overnight in the house rather than below freezing in the workshop to harden the primer, ready for tomorrow hopefully
First coat of the stuff
Finished the base priming, ready for grey primer and top of satin black
@brian47 here's a picture of it in my workshop!

Currently going over with satin black, was what i thought would be closest to original colour, i plan to do alot of layers and see how the colour is, if needs be i also have some gloss black to shine it up, but its looking okay for now, as well as some clear coat maybe not sure, im think theres about 10-15 thin layers worth of primer yellow and grey together
First light coat of black, Light in here making it look shinier than it is i think

Think im gonna have to put some gloss black on it instead, the original makes it look alot lighter because its more matte

I am not sure if you can remove that trim under your radio? It is under there.
I had the original radio in and I had to remove the radio first. Mine didn't have that trim but I suppose you can pry that off
