Fiberglass Dash with Custom Molded Screen

Best way to do this would be??

I have not done a foberglass dash.. I bought his dash from his 2000 neon as the project dash. Any suggestions on how ot make it look real good?

I'll have it in Black fiberglass..

good luck with that, its really tricky, time consuming and expensive, but go nuts

look at the Alpine RSX and what they did. It should give you some good ideas.

Well time i got as it's during the winter.

Expensive u say?? Hrmm much u figure i'm looking at?

I got the screen and everything ready.. just need the resin and fiberglass..

Yah both the Acura and the Honda are sooo sik from Alpine.. i love those rides so much.

sand down the dash with 40 grit paper then lay down Dura-Glass (fiberglass but its like body filler) then mold the screen in by a wood backing and some flexible metal (the kind were it has circles that connected to each other) mold that around the monitor then hot glue the metal mold it to the wood backing..  fleece it then f/g mat w/ resin.  then sand and body fill, sand, prime, paint, clearcoat, etc..

this is one way of doing it.... wait for someone else to respond with a better way.....

That's pretty much the way i was going to do it..

Thanks alot.

Thanks alot buddy.. I just got my pay which was oveer $5g'z so i'm settled for cash..

It's gonna be fun as hell!

to be honest... when f/g a dash no matter what u do it will turn out fine.. becuase the only way to remove f/g is by sanding.. so if u fuk up then u sand it down..  expect to work on this for 2-5 weeks...

Sanding is the harderst ...

Not to worry...

It's over the winter.. well start next month andworking all thorugh the winter plus on my kick panels as well.

theres another way of doing the f/g dash.. not the molding but to coat the dash..  at a body shop i work at they call it Gel Coat its not paint.. its 3 chemicals that are mixed together...  the guy i work with mix's it for me so i can never see what chems they use...   anyone know what i am talking about...
