 Use two part epoxy body filler and go around the openings of the windscreen and the
skylight in the roof, filling in the small defects from manufacture. When the filler has
hardened overnight it can be sanded and finished.
 Note this is only for cosmetics and provides no other use. Be careful as the fiberglass is
very thin on the canopy lip - do not sand too hard and don’t use mechanical sanders.

 Clean the sanded area down with thinners and clean it with compressed air. Paint the rest
of the fuselage with nitro paint to finish off the painting. Using a brush is recommended.
 Once you have masked around the canopy and skylight lip, paint the sanded and filled
area with bumper paint. Use bumper paint as it has a good sheenless colour and the
finish fills in small imperfections in the body filler.
