you get what you pay for, personllay I wouldnt go cheap on this things, as it's not worth working with cheap fibreglass and filling
ok another questionAfter people apply fiberglass how do they make it look like a new paint job for a car, all nice and purty
?
paint and clear coat?
Getting the good finsih is down to prepping. Paint and clear coat (depending on the paint), might only take about 1/2 an hour (+ drying time in between coats) spraying time a console, but you might spend a couple of weeks, laying the glass, trimming carefully, sanding level enough for filler, applying filler, sanding, filling again to get rid of any imperfections, sanding till it is completley level, then using stopper to catch any airbubbles on the surface, then the masking and spraying starts.

Man you sound just like how I was when I started reading about fiberglass.. The other day I came across a great forum thread: Fiberglass Anyone? (sorry to post to another forum). That single thread alone could probably tell you almost everything you could think of about fiberglassing.
Here is another one that I found from the same forum Creating A Custom Console. READ all of that.. there is so much info there! Here are two great sites Chris's Tutorial 1 and Chris's Tutorial 2 . That guy really knows sorta what he's doing..
I think those four sites alone will give you a pretty good idea of what materials to use and how to use them to make your glassin' look SWEET!
Hope that helps someone..

*** I got mine at Home Depot.. they have two different sizes of resin and here they only have fg matt.. they have hardener in a big ol tube and that is what makes the resin dry and harden, I think. If I'm wrong.. correct me.*** And Skraggy answered the other question.
