Looks better for sure.

usually when it's cold it doesn't dry fast and runs easy, but you can sand out runs.

Watch it though :), if it is a catalyzed epoxy - the epoxy will stop catalying at temps in the 50's.

  has bolt kits with the exact amount of bolts and clips included or you can go to lowes, or another hardware store even napa and get them. My local lowes has a whole section of automotive fastners and you can always buy the bolts then washer sperate.
