I went the cheap route and did the work myself. I filled the 'corvette' with epoxy and sanded it down and now it's too smooth. The original texture made the metallic flakes in the paint stand out more and it's real flat and non-metallic on top where it's smooth. I primered it pretty good but it just isn't working out. What's the best way to go about painting these?

You need to use the Primer/filler paint made by Duplicolor and wet sand it in between many coats. I had done the same thing on my lid using plain primer. The pewter just wasnt looking right at all. Then Rob, akak Savage1 that makes the custom FRC's told me that I should go back over it with the primer/filler and use at least one can of the stuff sanding in between about every 5-6 coats. Sure enough it worked! It was amazing how much better the Pewter looked! It had looked very "metallicy" and silver before but after the re-do it was an exact match to the car color and was really smooth!!
