It won't stay straight. When you prime and paint it it soaks up lots of solvent that slowly comes back out and causes some of the waves. That is some of the problem/ the resin also moves a lot with temperature fluctuations. Considering the originals were wavy aluminum straightened with lots of lacquer primer they had to be a mess when they were a year old. This is why I can't see putting a high dollar custom/candy paint job on a cobra/ just going to be disappoint in the long run.
