I dunno..., not much to say really; sanded it FOREVER with 80 grit on a d/a sander, primed it a couple coats, 180 then 320 on a sander again, sealed it, painted it a solid white, couple coats of a mixture of blue, green, white pearl with a splash of coarse metalic thrown in for good measure, then a couple coats of clear. I'm gonna re-pearl/clear it this winter; not enough effect for me.

Of course this was all done after many hours of fiberglass repairs; drip rails damaged, cracked seams, cartwheeling off of the G-D saw horses in a wicked winter wind storm, oh yeah, and a freakin rv roof vent above the back seat!

Inside I just rubbed the jeebuz out of it with red scotch brite pads, retextured it with auto rock gaurd then painted it met grey to match the int. Made a headliner out of 1/4" plywood, had it covered and used 3/8 long screws to attach around the perimeter. I'll try to get some light in there for a better picture; dark paint and limo tinted windows makes it too dim for pics inside, but quite a cozy feel.
