For what it is worth.  I painted the inside of the cowl with the same epoxy primer I am using for the outside of the plane.  Dupont Colar expoy, seems to be tough as nails.

Good idea to paint it with epoxy primer. Also not a bad idea to put some of the adhesive aluminum sold by Vans to protect the composite from the heat of the aluminum. I just ordered some 6'x 30" runs about $40. This makes it a lot easier to clean and gives some protection from the heat and oil penetration. It will get oily inside.

There is a fiberglass mat with a silicone back that can be RTVed in place.

This was need to keep the heat from turning the Sherman Williams Spread and

Spray epoxy primer from turning light tan in color.
