It looks excellent. Could you please give more detail about the product you used? I don't really understand what it is.
Thanks

The cobras suffered with stone impact from under the wings and everyone used that rubberised underseal http://htsmall.classicchevy.com/asse.../88-0278-1.jpg It works well but you do need to gag it on there to build up the thickness.

I remember Myth busters testing spray/paint on epoxy truck bed liner they covered a whole car with it and crashed in to various things, it acted like reinforcement to the panels so might even add alittle strength to the GRP.

It is a urethane two part epoxy that dries hard and yet retains some flexibility.
I used it after I seen my friends Cobra starting to show 'star' cracks where rocks had come up off his tires and hit the underneath of his cobras fenders, or wings.
The product I used can be mixed to other colours, but in my case I just left it black as my clamshells are black anyway.
The product is normally used for inside pick truck boxes to protect them from damage, also a lot of off road people use for the floors of their Jeeps and such.
Goes on real easy with a roller or brush, also doesn't give off any odor.
I have ended up on a bit of gravel road at some point and I have taken some really hard hits with rocks off the tires and so far the fibreglass hasn't shown any damage in the paint.
