If you get tubeless rims, get good ones. The set I have is either FA Italia or a knockoff thereof. One of my rims got torn apart by the tire machine. It was done at the tech program where I work. Newer machine that can accommodate a wheel that small and an experienced student.
I did one hub with longer studs. I never liked the nuts that are used with the rims. I chop the tops off so that the end of the stud pokes through it.

Back to the OP.
I'm happy with the results so far. Ended up doing about 20 coats of primer, with sanding between.

Thanks for the support!
I'm really digging this and having fun. Also, not rushing, just enjoying the process. Probably spent 4 hours on this cowl. Also, been spot sanding and prepping other parts. Trying to anticipate a weekend 3-4 hour block when I activate the baby blue can and have everything laid out. This photo is more clear. It's so smooth…
