I scuffed it up good, skimmed it with Rage Gold, blocked it down good, second coat of Rage Gold, blocked it down again. I have a lot of fiberglass showing now with random areas of Rage Gold in low areas - but it's very smooth. I spread filler up under the edge of the reinforcement piece with a plastic spreader and put adhesive backed 80 grit paper on a metal spakling trowel that I could slide up under there and work back and forth to sand it smooth. I'm going to put at least 3 coats of Slick Sand on it and block it again and take a close look at it. It probably won't be perfect like the top side of the hood but it should be pretty uniform and smooth.

Being a bit of a non-conformist, I also did the underside of the trunk lid.
