Default Re: Refinish AC undressed fibreglass cover

Here are some photos of the AC box.






The rear part of the passenger side and the top has lost the shiny gel coat finish and the bracket for the POA valve has lost the phosphate finish. The bracket below the POA valve bracket used for the expansion valve is in very nice condition. The driver side of the box is not bad.

Should I try a new application of gel coat or just refinish with clear either directly or after a light media blast? Any specific suggestions for a brand of gel coat? Will I need to clear coat with a spray gun or could I use a spray can product? Any specific suggestions for products?

I would like to refinish the POA valve bracket. However to do this I'll have to remove it by removing and replacing the rivets. Any suggestions on how to do this?
