Well,
The cowling didn't polish up very good at all, had a couple dings and the top was scuffed from engine cover.
I wasn't going to spring for new decals, so I taped off decals, primered and painted same as engine.
Looks much better and is a 2ft paint job. a few dust specs, but shiney.
In one of the pictures, you can see the reflection of my blue shirt.

Sanded with 250 git, primered and painted. No additional work. About 1 hour effort.

I could sand with 800, clear coat, sand with 1000 and polish, but not worth the effort at the moment.

Again the devils in the durability, but that will be answered this winter.
