Fiberglass refinishing
Well, while my Cobra is down with MSD Issues I figured I'd refinish the underside of my hood. I'm removing all of the blistered paint from the underside and what I find is a surface with exposed glass fibers. The paint blistering has been an issue from very early on. Same paint blistering issue in the trunk, as well.
I assume I need to seal the glass fiber surface with fiberglass epoxy, and then once it's fully cured sand it smooth. Do I use Bondo to smooth out the surface for painting, or smooth out the epoxy?
My plan is to use some ultra high-temp primer/paint to finish the surface.
I'm not a complete novice. I can use a rattle can and make small jobs look professional (It's almost all in sanding, sanding, sanding, and the rest is in the paint strokes).
Any advise for a fiberglass novice?
