If it is cheaper for you to make a mould and lay up something than it is to repair what you already have, you are certainly a master mould maker and layer-upper. And have a stock of the required materials already on the shelf. And happy to work with that nasty stuff.

I'd think you could take the MFI shroud you have and use it. Or the CIS shroud, which just needs the end piece to do the final directing of the air down onto the cooler.

What is difficult about painting? I've painted several shrouds, and it worked pretty well, even with just spray can paint! And patching over the odd hole or reinforcing broken out edge fastener holes isn't that much of a challenge.

But your standards are likely more exacting then mine.
