You have to fill in the Corvette lettering I used some Bondo "Quick Fix" ($3). Betwwen the Bondo,primer,paint, and clear I probably spent $40 tops.

Looks great I want to try it but have no experience with bondo or any other epoxy or the painting part but i will give it a shot, do you have to sand and what grade or how fine of sand paper did you use

make sure that you sand down the surface of the FRCs to a smooth finish. I saw a set the other day where this wasn't done and the surface of the paint and clear coat didn't look that smooth.
