The other question is, the old paint needs to come off. I think.
Should
this be done by sanding it off or using paint remover like methylene
chloride? I'm thinking that sanding will do the trick and I've had
experience with the microspheres and epoxy and flocked cotton and that
sort
of thing. And filling pinholes.


Chemical strippers can really make a mess out of fibreglass parts. The
stripper can get into the resin and soften it. Stripper disolved in the
laminate can make subsequent paint fail also. I think I would sand it.

Make a buck to support it when you sand. I would avoid the foam. Hard to
remove! :-)
