RE: Fiber glassin center console
 

What gauges are you using down there?
What methods are you using to smooth that, bondo?
And what color are you painting that after it's done

RE: Fiber glassin center console
 

Pressure gauges for my airride, uh sanding, sanding and more sanding, and then probably black...

ah, I'd suggest bondo over it though for a better surface but that's just my 2 cents

RE: Fiber glassin center console
 

if you mix your bondo with a little resin and then use your cream hardner it'll make a "milkshake" then spread it on thin and it will self level .... it saves alot of sanding..... i use this technique when i'm doing painted glass it works very well..... also if you need more strength try cutting little chunks of 2 oz chop mat and then mixing the mat in with your resin to make a paste.... then you can apply it to the inside of your project..... hope this helps....... lookin good so far

^^ Im pretty sure he already used body filler on it.

Huh thanks for the info, never herd of the "milkshake", lol...But yeah i read it a lil late its almost done now...And Yeah i'm using bondo but thanks for the two cents...

^ Just for the heads up next time, try using rage gold instead of bondo, its easy to work with, less air bubbles and sands easy...

hard as **** to find though
i never found it at lowes or home depot..

I'll have to try that resin/filler thing next time I'm doing fiberglass work.
