Prefer to do it after glass bead cleaning. You then, have a clean surface for better adhesion. Then, I have the dichromate done.

Seldom is the repair invisible. I smooth the repaired area with JB Weld, sand it, mask it, and paint the repaired web .

I had a local paint shop mix a can of iridescent satin spray that was color-matched to the dichromated carb body.

Here are two pictures of repaired end carb webs and two of a center carb before sanding & painting.
