Default Leveling Waves

I was looking for a product that I could use for leveling out panels like a hood or rear deck other then VPA. Just curious as to what can be used on a 69-73 C3. Well versed in VPA but just wanted t o see what others have had success with. I hear about Rage Gold etc.

Are you doing it on bare SMC or has it been primed. I get down to bare glass then epoxy prime. From there I use Rage Gold.
