Re: Truck Topper Paint and Fiberglass Repair
I think I'd investigate/try something like Evercoat's "Gel-Kote" repair products ...

Having worked in the marine industry for over 30 years, there is no better filler for fiberglass repair than this.

I'll definitely look into that product, thanks for the suggestion.

That's quite the testimonial, very much appreciated. Do you have any advice specific to this kind of repair or should it be pretty straightforward?a

If you've never done any custom fiberglass work while it's not super hard, there is some technique and skill required. At least you have the back portion to work with,
My advice would be to rebuild in steps, that is don't try to fix in one application. Build-up and build-out. Gravity is going to be your enemy.
There's probably some talented people on this forum that can provide some step-by-step info - you might also look for a boat restoration forum, maybe TheHullTruth.com

Re: Truck Topper Paint and Fiberglass Repair
Well, the pic looks to me like there is both fiberglass and gel coat involved.
Hence my recommendation of the Evercoat product. You can layer it to repair larger damages, and it will yield a better finish than fiberglass ... not molded quality finish, but decent enough.

Actually Mike, the 3M id designed to fill areas such as in the OP's pics in one application. When mixed, it is the consistency of cold peanut butter, and man does it stay put.
It's really amazing stuff.
