Roltec. It wasn't too hard with a Dremel. The hardest thing was deciding where to mark the cowling to open it up. My Super Tigre is much bigger and the recommended cutting wasn't going to be near big enough. So after A LOT of measuring, factoring in 1 degree of right and down engine thrust, etc.; I made my cuts. I just wish my hand was a little steadier to make my cuts a little smoother.

Roltec, Did you paint your cowl? I did. Let the base coat (cream) sit for a couple weeks. Then I used painters tape to mask off the the areas that needed to be Insigna Blue. Painted those areas. But when I pulled off the painters tape, most of the paint came off too. [] So I peeled/sanded all the paint back off and just repainted it cream for now. How did you do it? I want it to look scale.
