Ok so i received my sail panel i ordered from 6LE Designs, Looks like a bit more prep work then i thought. But im just wondering what is the best way to prep it for paint? what should i use to feel the low spots? And all the deep grooves??

+ when you're sanding it use a stiff flat block. Also spray a little bit of primer on the panal and sand that to find your low and high spots

^^Thanks for the input everyone...

These pieces are straight out of the mold just like a fiberglass hood and will need the basic prep work mentioned above.

That being said, we did have a couple bad pieces (one cut too much, one damaged in shipping and one uncured, first run so there were kinks). If anyone received anything that needs more work than a standard FG hood (again, these are not composite like factory so they do require straight out of the mold type prep work) let us know so we can get it replaced.

Thanks everyone!
