Even though I had put a special 90 degree door catch on the bay door on the same side as my furnace discharge, the bay was left open one evening and was not latched. As the evening cooled significantly the furnace ran. The short story is that it fried a big round brown spot on my bay door. But finding fault won't help, I needed a solution. I sanded the surface of the gelcoat. It was crazed it and looked like a dried mud flat after I sprayed it with Rustoleom appliance paint.

So I went to an auto parts store with my camera to show him a picture of my problem. He suggested I use glazing compound to fill the tiny cracks, sand it with one of those white eraser sponges and reapply my appliance paint.

I realize that it may not be perfect, but it will sure look better than a brown burn spot and far cheaper than chasing down a new door.
