Default fiberglass dash?

I have painted my interior in black and silver but I`m not happy. It still doesn`t "jump at u feel" like I want. Do yall know any websites that have a good introduction in doing fiberglass dashes/door panels?

There are lots of sites on the net, the first one I posted really helped me alot, but I also has a friend who helped me get into it. If you havent fiberglassed before, start small. Its hard to get all the right
measurements right when you start mixing and such...and give yourself LOTS of time. Good luck. Its alot of work.

I have done alot of fiberglass, and the most important thing, as Mills already said, is TAKE YOUR TIME. If you rush what you are doing, you are gonna get bad results.

As for your dash, have you thought about just bondoing over the door panels and the dash to get it smooth then painting it with a base coat then clear over it?

This is kinda what I am talking about. HERE There are links to the rest of the article at the bottom of the page.

I know its Tricked Out and all, but its a good look and its easy to do.
