ok... so far i have fibreglass enclosure formed into the spar tire well wiht a frame made for 2 10 inch subs.. the top the speakers are angles out... i think im goin to wrap it in strecth fleece and resin it but i want a super smooth look... so i can paint.. is it best to gel coat and sand or what? any suggestions???

 

I would suggest lots of sanding, then a gel coat maybe

 

dont bother with gel coat. Lots of sanding, and take it to an autobody shop for a good automotive paintjob.

 

Gelcoat was the thing to do about 12 years ago when fiberglassing was pretty new. Now, you would sand down the fleece with 40 grit to get it decently smooth, then apply some filler to fill in the low spots, sand with 100 grit, primer, then 220 grit, then primer again and send off to body shop [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

specifically what filler should be used then? regular bondo? or bondo with fibreglass added? im new to this so please excuse my ignorance

 

i like rage gold myself, you can get it at lordco

 

what the heck is rage gold...what does it consist of?

 

you can make your own bondo milkshake if you want as well. Depends on your skill level. Simply mix resin and bondo together, and off you go!!

 

mmm...bondo milkshake! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
