Somemore time on the covers, Sanding back the red paint with some 1200 then 1600 grit. Making it baby smooth. There was alot of roughness and particles in the paint from painting in the garage, The final coats Ill do in the mini spray booth at uni to get better results.
Once I finished sanding I sprayed the paint resedue off then wiped down the covers with wax and grease remover. The covers are ready for the proper paint now.
Since Im gonna be doing the final coats of paint, I thought Id better hit the underside of the covers first. I grabbed some almost empty cans of brake caliper paint from when i did my brakes and gave the underside a spray. The caliper paint should add some protection and it doesnt matter what it looks like so i just degreased the surface and threw the paint straight on. You can also see my attempt to give the mounting points some strength with glued on washers and bog (god knows if it will do anything just dont want the fiber glass to crack).
I also gave a light spray of high heat clear I had left over, gonna take a good week to cure without putting them in the oven. But I got no funds to finish them atm so perfect timing.
