Default RE: Reinforcing a

Thanks ro - I just talked with a local "consignment" builder / LHS owner. She goes to an automotive paint supply with a sample of the color to match (she's pretty much exclusively Ultracote) and they mix a batch and load it into rattle-can spray cans for her.

The epoxy paint that I used is "appliance" epoxy. It cures in 3 hours. The wheel pant came out with a very high gloss with a very smooth (no orange peel whatsoever).

I'm nearly finished filling the various holes and will give it a "shot" this evening. Oh, I do have a new ShowTime 50 cowl sitting on the shelf. Not gonna mess with this unless some goes really wrong.
