Refinish AC undressed fibreglass cover

I concur on the safest rust remover, and it wont hurt the fiberglass either. But remember it will remove cad plating (but since there is none left on that part it isn't an issue here).

I've heard of safest rust remover here on other post but what exactly is it and where can I buy it?

That is way better than i was expecting. I would say it just needs clear coat, scuff with a grey scuff pad. Do not use sand paper. And if you don't want to use a spray gun, you can get 1k or 2k clear in spray cans from your local body shop jobber. I would not remove the bracket unless u are doing a frame off restoration. Clean the bracket and paint with a phosphate spray can.

Thanks for your suggestions. I feel you are right about the condition and from what I've seen and heard it looks like clear coat will do the job rather than more gel coat. Although the car is a driver rather than a frame off restoration I think I'm just too fussy about finishes too fussy about finishes to paint the bracket. I'll likely have the box off in the next few days and I'll try a few things on it to see how it goes.

Shine that thing up with Bully Dog adhesive promoter. It acts as a fiberglass polish

I've tried a few polishes on the box without any success. What exactly is Bully Dog adhesive promoter and where would i buy it?

Evaporust does the same thing as well and I think it is available at most autoparts stores. I use both.

Thanks. Checked the link for safestrustremover and luckily there is a distributor in Vancouver. I'll check with them and see what I can find out.

I recently bought four gallons of the evaporust at advanceautoparts. I used one of the online coupons and knocked a ton off the price. And, if you use one coupon per gallon you can really increase the savings instead of just making one purchase for all four. (I had to buy them at seveeral stores since they ususally only have one gallon at a time at the local store)
