Default Fuel Rail Covers....need Help

just needing a little bit of input on these...

first what type of filler do you guys use to fill in the "corvette" area?

what grit of sandpaper do you use to buff down the whole cover?

and does anyone have any pics of black painted covers?...i dont care if they have emblems on them or not...im painting mine black and i need to see some examples thanks

You'd think someone with 4,417 would know how to do that!

I uses NAPA Flexible Bumper Filler #BK.765-1540
Parbeak uses Dynatron Dynalite, followed up with glazing putty.
