This is my small Bonanza: ESM 81" I also have a Hostetler 108.5 inch Bonanza A36 that was just finished being built, has yet to be maidened.

I'm pleased the way this cowl turned out. Got that finish after wet sanding 400,800, 1000 then primer, 1000 grit again, dried in the oven, wiped down with a lint free cloth and shot it with gloss white from a can.
