[crossram]

Is there a consensus on the best paint to use on the underside of the fiberglas panels?

same product for wheel wells ?

For the front wheel wells, I used Ronseal Isoflex Liquid Rubber paint - it will help stop a stone from damaging the wheel well when it flies off the tyre...

Thanks, what did you use on non wheel areas?

Plastic dip also works well in all areas

For all the other areas , including the undersides of the front and rear clams, and inside of the sidepods, I brushed on a couple of coats of Tetrosyl stone chip paint. It smells a bit so I advise the use of a suitable breathing mask while you are doing it.

Usually if it smells it works well, living in Kalifornia we don't allow smells of any sort, including cow farts

When I cut through the top of the front wings, to fit my new carbon fibre vents, I found the GF to be 3/8" thick!

For a craze to appear in the top of the wing you will need a brick to be thrown up at high speed....
The carbon fibre vents I bonded in were 2mm (1/12") thick.

I did use a stone chip shutz(sp) coating under the two pack paint.

No problems in 10000+ miles.

I have a spider crack in the gel coat directly atop of one wheel arch from what I assume is a stone being thrown up.

Less than 2000 miles on the car, and only one track day.
