okay, i'm going to fiberglass my trunk soon. I need to know how many gallons of resin I need. I have a 93 prelude. I need to do the wheel well, side panels, and the fleece. I just need a rough estimate. Thanks.

i would get 5 gallons......you will have extra left to do other projects like doors or kicks. but depending on the size and complexity of it you will probably only need 2 or 3 gallons

if you buy it in bulk it is a bit cheaper per gallon.......you didnt give any kind of ideas, or what you are planning on puting in there, number of subs, amps, how much wood you are planning on using, if it going to be framed in metal ..... so the estimate was a ball park, it will vary on how you do it and what you are planning on doing

Wow $25for one gallon your getting ripped off. I payed $15 for one gallon of resin at a local hardware store. I've also seen resin in the automotive department at wal mart but i dont remember the price of it there.

PureRF just gave the best suggestion anyone can give a newbie. That site is a company called U.S. Composites. Don't be afraid to give them a call and let them know what you'll be using the resin for and they'll set you up with everything you need for remarkable prices.
