Fiberglass staining question

[Steven L.]

Hi all,

I'm well along in the process of making fiberglass repairs to the nose of my '66, and my next step is to do some filler work. Two years ago, in preparation for making these repairs, I stripped the paint off the body, down to the fiberglass, and with the exception of the areas I've been working on, the rest of the car has been masked off and/or covered. This morning I removed some of the masking to expose the fenders and cowl, and I noticed that the fiberglass looks dark, like some type of staining, that goes across the top of the cowl, and is also present on the lower portion of the left fender. I haven't tried to clean the affected areas yet, so I wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this issue, and if so, how did you address it.

Thanks for the assistance!

Steven,
A few photos of the affected area would help possibly identify the cause.

Original fiberglass or a replacement?

Method & material used during stripping?

Material used to cover stripped areas?

Storage? (Wide temperature / humidity variations)

Any coloration difference between masked areas and covered areas?

Will do. This is my first attempt at attaching a picture, but I don't see a button for it. How do I do it?
