Default Wing Leading Edge Refinishing


HI all,

My Pegasus was refinished in Poland a few years ago in two pack poly
paint, seemed to do a good job I thought. but after a while the very tip
of the leading edge has started to get vertical cracks showing where the
wing flexes (peg's have very bendy wings)

The rest of the wing is fine, so after a bit of a look with some wet and
dry it seems that they have just flatted the gelcoat back on the leading
edge and sprayed over it !! I guess they did that as a easy way to keep
the wings profile correct???

everywhere else had the gel removed apart from the L/E

My problem is,

I want to refinish the leading edge, how do I go about keeping the profile
correct and am I best to go back to glass on the affected areas

any ideas and suggestions would be great !!

Regards and thanks for the help

Jan
