First off, if its your first time glassing, you better practice on something first so you can see what your getting into, its not an easy or fun project. You just dont fiberglass and paint something.

You need to make a structure, stretch and staple fleece, apply some resin to the fleece, then apply some fiberglass matting (i use fglass chopmatt), let it dry, grind it down with some 80 grit with a die grinder, then apply some body filler, smooth it, prime it, paint it, install it.

Good Luck. lol

Word of advice get a fleece that is thin and stretches real nice. Will save you tons of sanding time trust me...I had to learn the hard way!
