Status: offline 		I'm fixing a Viper fuse, and since they are known for being weak, I want to glass the whole thing. I really don't care about the finish, so I was wondering if I could paint it with the Aero Gloss first? And what cloth should I use, 3/4"? I'll be using Z-Poxy over it. I did this with a small electric, and it seems ok.

You can paint first but it would likely be best to paint after you glass, or if the colour of the finish is not important don't paint at all , natural can look good with a few colour accents. .75 or .5 oz cloth is good for this purpose.
