Below is a thread that talks about restoring engine shrouds. I did mine last year when I had the carbs rebuilt. I used the Tandy stain that was mentioned in the thread and it turned out great. Below before and after photos. I cleaned and lightly sanded the fiberglass before staining.

Wow . misinformation , the shrouds are absolutely not painted and the fiberglass fibers are somewhat visible , and they were originally semi-gloss but the gloss faded over time .
This is my experience as well.Quote:
