Does anyone have first-hand experience refurbishing their engine shroud that they can share? Best practices? Lessons learned?
I bought the best (err only) original engine shroud that I could find that I think is correct for our engine. Thanks for the guidance on that. It might work as is, but it could sure use some help. Faded. Cracks. Etc. I've done some searching, but the best resources I've found so far are boat repair videos. |

Great thread as very useful since I’m going through the same resto project.
Recommended paint that’s resistant to oil and gas? I used epoxy to repair a couple of small damaged areas were fasteners had torn out some material. If I had more extensive repairs I think the fiberglass recommendations in this thread were spot on . Primed with 2 k high fill primer to eliminate micro cracks on the surface. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I used epoxy and Evercoat (kitty hair), just used some standard safety red I had in stock. O Attached thumbnail(s) |
