My first try at body work with Harbor Freight tools and Paint Scratch rattle can touch up paint. I didn't use any bondo so the surface is still mottled from hammering. Much better, though. Looks great from 10' away:

The Chamonix rattle can was a good match?
It's an okay match but better than just primer. Plus it's single stage.
I took care of some worrying surface rust under the hood too. Thanks to @Dick Steinkamp for his timely post on the E3 hood liner. It fits perfectly.
Also a close up to detail difference between Paint Scratch and factory.

Ted,
What year is your E3? It looks like you might have the "pointy" hood prop cross bar like mine rather than the "softly curved" one like Chris and Rob...

My '69 E3 has the "softly curved" bar, spoken quietly with an airy voice.
Yea...from that angle it looks "softly curved" (que the 80's porno music)

I like the Bondo-free approach. I prefer a little character on my cars just to remind me that they are to be used. After all, using them stewards them the best.
