Yes there should
, Because when you prep it you cant prep it again as you'll destroy the weave/resin 
So glad you didnt

Ok time for an update ,rubbed down the bonnet and repainted it the other day ,as there was a few bits on it i was not happy with,went over there today to colour sand and mop the bonnet ,here are some pics.
Rubbing down with 2000 grit
Ready for mopping.
Nearly mopped.
Finnesse it going on.
Flipped the bonnet over at this stage to make up some templates for the bonnet heat insulation,going to use the silver self adehsive stuff(anyone got any good places to pick this stuff up).
Taped down so vent hole can be drawn around from top.
Flipped over and checked on other side.
Middle template complete.
Bonnet turned back over and hand polished to finish.
Random piccys of the bonnet ,very pleased how it turned out this time ,glad we rubbed it down and re-did it

Thought i would fix the bonnet pins into the holders today ,some pictures of the work.
Masking tape applied to mark out the holes.
Holes marked out.
Drilled.
Pin riveted into place.
Did this one from below as the gap was too small to get the gun into from above.
Also used washers to stop the rivets pulling through.
All ready for bonding to the bonnet when its lined up on the car.
Thats its for now untill i get the bonnet on ,Happy new year
