[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 800142, member: 325666"] Thanks BM ..but worry not .. The majority of the dish is a matt cream colour ..and whatever I do with the extension wings will be made to match the main dish area as close as possible .. Already on order ..gelcoat with cream pigment addative.. I have however had another possible change of direction in my thinking .. Certainly I'm going to try this on the third panel .. It can be sanded off if unsuccesful ..but I have to try it. Just ordered 1 roll of adhesive backed aluminium tape ..10 cm x 45 mtrs long .. Quick back of a cigarette packet calc ..I should need approx 6 mtrs.. I propose to lay this radially onto the sanded smooth wing surface in overlapping strips. to follow the wing contour. The aim ..to get a closer smoother ..more accurate finish ...with a thicker more dense reflecting surface . This too will be painted over to finish in matt cream ..if it works out .. We shall see .. pictures will follow of course.. Whatever I choose as the final option .. Hopefully the Gelcoat will encase the surface and form the final lamination layer. rgds VS ..regarding the lack of sun .. I'd rather spend a lot of time painting the dish ..and have more solar rays on my back .. ;) [/QUOTE]
