I would hesitate to glass, using Polycryllic, if I were to apply Flite Metal. I would be more inclined to use epoxy finishing resin. Like I said in an earlier post, I feel that the Poly C would be too soft.
Glassing with Polycryllic is fine, if one wants to go that route. The Poly C will provide a good surface on which a painted finish can be applied. I'm afraid that the process involved in applying FM would mar the waterborne product, though.
