Jeez! Do the whole hood... not just one part.
so paint is good above 68'F/20'c i hear... how about primer? anyone know? i can't find info - it's way under that right now like 55/12
i'm going to use a brush again, this will be interesting (to me at least)... preview anyone?
'krud kutter' acid prep seems to work really well btw...
Jeez! Do the whole hood... not just one part.
Front edge looks like its got cannon ball holes in it. Cant be if you are thinking of priming it. Must be fly **** on my screen. Must give it a clean
OMG! You'd be better off taking it a bodyshop and having the whole panel sanded back, prepped and resprayed. That damaged area is way to large to 'repair'.

what are you nuts?
j/k i'm killing myself reading your replies - yah i know it's really bad but i've got some paint left over (not enough for the whole thing) from my grill job and i thought i'd try it seeing as another job i did turned out a hundred times better than i thought it would. if it doesn't work it already looked awful - the rest of the car isn't brand new either (tho it is pretty clean)- there's a beautiful dent on the front end of the hood that i'm going to leave as is it kind of gives it personality.... may i remind you this is a winter driven 525i auto and it's going to get its ass kicked in a couple months anyway... need a couple tires and i love it but i'm sick of spending money on it (for now) - at least there's no rust!
i bet it turns out better than you think it will all the same... we'll see i don't know...
so... still wondering about what temperature you can put primer on....
edit- oh i should explain i'm going to prime then putty then prime again have a little faith guys i'll make it smooth - you saw my grill right?
it wasn't so bad i don't think... by my standards anyway...

Treat it as paint, same ambient temperatures apply.
I had to sand down and prime my baby earlier this year. Drove around with green epoxy primer for two months! My kids hated it...but it did give it personality.

Keep at it. Paint some flames on the hood, this way we won't see the difference !
We should see some warmer days yet before November methinks.
