[QUOTE="Frankenfish, post: 480545, member: 25701"] This looks fantastic! Is it going to stay black? Could be good capturing the sun's rays during cold walleye fishing months. Some notes about using fairing compound, that stuff is magic for hiding defects and providing a great finish. Make sure it's UV protected as the epoxy component can be degraded. Also most recommend epoxy coating it since fairing compound is made for ease of filling and sanding, not necessarily for final finish quality or waterproof-ness. I've failed to top coat it properly in the past and anywhere I used fairing compound picked up dirt and oils differently from the surfaces next to it and always looked off. Re-reading your post, I see you say you covered it with Tuff Coat. Ignore all the above, but I'm not deleting it. Great job! Is that hatch in your bench seat a Tempress one? I've been looking at those and would like to hear your opinion on it. [/QUOTE]
