Thanks for the encouragment!
Took the bonnet camping yesterday as the weather was good. It has been sitting in the shed for a few weeks now in bare steel (with a coat of easyphos to temporarily stop it from rusting). I finally got around to ordering some rattle cans of 2K epoxy primer. These SprayMax cans are those 2 part ones where you pierce an inner chamber in the can to mix the paint and hardener. Pot life once mixed is 8 hours at 20C.
This took a can and a half of high fill just to paint the top (the underside is already coated in KBS black). So what to do with a half can - find more things I have stored and put some paint on them. This took a can. Then I did the front passenger door outer and the bottom and top frame of the drivers door that I just repaired. 4 cans in total. Last can stopped spraying paint with at least 50 mls in the can (I weighed it) which was annoying, but overall pretty happy with the results.
