Hey guys. I repaired a hole in my cowling. There are a few spots where the previous owner had used a repair stick for longer scratches. Since I have a pretty large area sanded down to the fiberglass after re-glassing the hole, I figured I'd sand it all down and repaint the whole top cowling (except the back louvers). I might repaint the l/u since it's scratched up pretty well too. I have a few questions: on colorite's page, the cowling is showing that 00NA (shiny black) also for the l/u...is this the right color? Also, it calls for 1554 base coat...is that correct? Next, what kind of primer should I use on top of the sanded fiberglass (and l/u if different)? Finally, what kind of clear coat should I use?

It appears I can go with aerosol cans (easy) or with mixing paint/reducer and using a gravity feed gun. Is the finish with the aerosol bad enough to warrant a spray booth job? If the bulk paint method is best, what amount of paint/primer/base/clear should I get? It comes in 1/2 pint incriments. Might as well ask this too, should I put body filler over visible glass strands that have are shown after sanding. It's smooth to the hand...or will the primer and base coat be thick enough to cover it? Maybe prime it and wet sand the area and re-prime prior to base coat.

Thanks for the help.
