Indeed, that looks like a small crack in that

I made a mould awhile back from what looks like the same system as I wanted to try out the putty backing product. I have used a similar system with a cloth, similar to fIbre glass.
I thought this putty system was easy to use but it is brittle so you do need to build it up in areas where needed. Although it has fibres to give strength it could still maybe benefit from a final layer of cloth to hold it together better.
Good luck with the next one!

Looks exactly to be the same system as making the mould. Looks like you had better luck than I did with the release. I'm going to order some more putty up, but am going to spend this weekend making up a cover for my engine with what I have left.

Practise makes perfect

I'd go with the Paint option. good heat resistant paint - proffessionally airbrushed on.

no wrap to peel off and no expensive mouldings to make.

with enough clear over the top should last a fair old while.

more possible carbon work for me to think about. (in the process of searching for a new air compressor for my airbrushes.

then need time to practice (alot more time).

"BUTT" all in all I like the Idea looks crisp !!

I might be inclined to have another go at mine.

I polished a rocker cover so my mould came out really well. I did cut the left and right edges straight off though as otherwise you wouldn't be able to get it out. You can re-use the gel coat to cover over any blotches.
