Understand completely. That's why I accommodate the shortcomings. Even an engineer needs to feel special😉

If AS wanted they could take a mold plug off their trailers, and make them of fiberglass. The plug would even show laps and rivets. Paint it silver, and it would be hard to tell the difference.

It looks like Oliver is painting their trailers. This is just from looking at the photos from their shop floor. If so, the paint helps protect the fiberglass.

Oliver uses gel coat as the base layer in the moulding process with vinyl graphics.
