Thanks for your post. Sounds like we're doing the same thing interior wise.

I'm keeping the carbon fiber look so the overhead I plan on some type of clear coat and gluing it down. When you say sanded and filled are you talking about the inside of the cabin top or where you glassed the overhead in?

If I could just take some 320 across the entire inside and then prime/paint. If I need to fill any pinholes or scratches then I could do some skimcoating, but not sure it matters since it's all getting covered up with the headliner.

Thanks again

Also keeping the CF look on the cabin top/consul.

I attached the overhead with epoxy resin and a layer of fiberglass cloth then filled.

The interior of the cabin top is pretty rough. If you want to get smooth and level some of the high/low spots may need a lower grit sandpaper to start (80 or even 60).

The fill is basically around the door opening and front windshield forward of where the headliner pieces will be from Aerosport.

Are you doing additional headliner forward of the Aerosport inserts?

Okay I see now, the flanges on the overhead get glassed over and then they end up getting covered by the headliner material.

I hadn't planned to do any additional headliner outside of the Aerosport kit. I guess I'll need to really ensure that area is cleaned up and looking decent.
