On IV-Ps be sure to lay 1 bid of carbon over the lap between the fairing and the fuselage and 2 bid over where the gear box bolts penetrate. Otherwise, over time, the paint in these areas will develop unsightly cracks :( A smart person would have put carbon over ALL thick flox or micro spots on the outside of the pressurized portion of the fuselage. Bolt heads, door hinge areas, door to jam buildups, anywhere there is more than 1/2 a mm of brittle material should be covered with carbon to prevent surface cracks. Regards.
