Sanded epoxy and a fresh shot of clear coat. It's got some texture there because I JUST shot the clear. It should level out quite nicely and only need a minor 2000-3000 grit hit and polish to finish...

have you tried a hood or anything big?

Ok, back on this. While I'm trying to strip Ricky's headlamp cover of the stuff that won't set, I decided to try something. Took a typical tall kitchen back and used it for vacuum bagging. The thin...
