Looking to see who has had the best luck avoiding spider webbing on their fiberglass front fenders? Looks like most are running fiberwerx??? How is it paint holding up? Any even better options out there?

I know this is old,my pops was a class 1 driver in the score series for many years. I’d avoid paint at all cost if you’re going to use your truck. He retired his Geiser pro 4 truck And it just sits in his 10 car race shop garage next to his 2 wd trophy geiser build, he had both knees and 2 lower discs replaced all due to racing so he can barely get into them now but he still does. He refuses to sell his trucks, they just sit up there and he uses them in the winter to jump snow drifts and shit. To race this class you have to have money, my dad was a VP for a huge ac company and owned 18% the stock. When they merged with ingersoll he hated the company and retired. They made him cash out his stock because he wasn’t on the board anymore and it was in the hi multi millions. So from then on I Probly watched him burn through at least 5 mil racing score thats without the deisel trucks, motorhomes, semi trailers for vehicles, That’s the back story. So back in the day we painted the body’s, depending on the 500 or 1000 he’d go through at least 3-4 sets of body work, then one of my best friends owned a vehicle wrap company in Prescott Az. After the body molds were blown, Dave would wrap them. Best thing you can do. He ran the 500 once on the same body even fighting with Gordon on the course, the wrap takes thenscratches paint doesn’t and holds the fenders together. Best move he said he ever made. He may be throwing the the pro 4 trophy truck up for sale, all electronics and gps, ac units are up to date, has a new 572 aluminum block motor, think it’s putting down 880 hp and 860ish tq, lots of drivetrain loss in the 4wd, he was a minimum of 500k for this one it’s a 2016 build and his class 1 2wd has a ford aluminum block 442 making about the same power, he’s keeping that one, just due to its way less maintenance. He said he wants 400k for that one if he was to sell it. Both trucks have one race on them he retired in 2017 from score. He’s 73. But wrapping glass bodywork is the way to go
