>About 10 years ago I had the same problem with my Mk I Spit. I bought a
>brown pressed board from home depot. I can't recall what it is called but
it
>is about 1/8" thick, has smooth brown on one surface and a rough reverse
>side. I painted it with multiple coats of black Krylon which it readily
>soaked up. The Mk I has formed metal top, front, and rear edges which were
>held with rivits. I removed, prepped and painted the old metal pieces. Then
>cut the press board to match the old valances, then painted it, then
>attached the metal pieces. 10 years later the still look good with no sign
>of rot.
