Both the home built cars that I've seen and the ones built by the build agents look great on the whole. The only issues that come up is the GRP itself . Reports of movement, bubbles, stress marks and the effects of hot and cold weather. I'm no expert but that can be down to a few factors. In my own experience I wouldn't paint a freshly moulded GRP surface for a considerable time, maybe 6 months or so. It does tend to move and settle for ages before it is 100% fully cured and dried out or it might be my lack of skills at laminating fibre glass ? Either way , the longer you leave it the better it gets.
