Phat, thanks for asking, the rod boxes came out pretty damn good I gotta say. I wasn't expecting any miracles but the fiberglass repair was relatively easy because they were just cracked,what made it look good was the paint. It was the Interlux polyurethane. Pricey, 30.00 for a quart, but it brushed on like glass. I tinted the white down[shoulda gone w/the off-white instead] with a black tint, so now the color is a snow white or very very light grey. It is a compromise between the grey floor and the already off white interior. Also redid the fire extinguisher box as well. I have taken pictures, they're in the camera just gotta get em over to the computer. Soon....?
