Kenyon,
The difference in thermal expansion between the
plastic insert and the surrounding metal could cause your paint to crack. I
wouldn't do it in a dark color for that reason.
Btw. what color is the coupe you're
targeting?

Subject: Re: IML: LeBaron Rear Window
Filler - Paint the fiberglass area?
I am eyeing a 72 Le Baron coupe.
I have customising
aspirations to have a painted roof and don't think that there is any rust, but
will be yanking the ratty top off. I am planning to then cover whatever
is there with body filler and smooth it, then paint the top instead of redoing
in vynyl.
Any reason that this is a bad idea as far as smoothing
over what's there and making it all look like it's one sheet of steel/smooth
from a cosmetic standpoint? I like the smaller rear window and want to
keep it.
