I took a look at all items in the wells potentially requiring future maintenance (the glass and epoxy type) and decided to leave everything virgin. Sure,it looks sorta grungy but I'm more concerned with maintainability than a snazzy finish. I'd never feel really good about the integrity of a lay-up made over a place where one had to scrape away paint (or whatever) to get to the working surface. As said here before, many times: You pays your money and you takes your choice. Besides, beautiful wheel wells won't make your bird go any faster.
