Wing tip finish

Has anybody resin or glassed in the wing tip and nav light mount to give the wing a more finished look? Most RV-12 painted wings seem to leave this as is. If anybody has faired their wing tip in i would love to see a pic of it. Thanks!
 
If you mean like this, yes.

Yes, and did the same for the holes, that were left in the wing tip close-out panel. They were the worse for & finish on the whole build, at least for me.
 
After I got the AW Certificate I trimmed that ugly bent over tab at each wing tip and used Bondo filler for the gap and the wing bow holes. Then it went to the paint shop and looks great. Another tip: if you paint the wing tips and stabilator tips in a dark color any discontinuities will not standout.
