When i have put the fibrglass matt n resin on n sanded it how many coats of resin/body filler do i put on? Can someone help me with the painting stage how do i get a good lookin paint are there any tuturiols?

as many as it takes to get it all smooth...

sometimes you cant use the resin/bondo. If you didnt do a good sanding job you will need use just bondo to fill in some of the low spots. Its easier to fill in when its thicker. Doing the resin/bondo mix makes it thinner and easier to apply. Once you have filled in your low spots with regular bondo then you can sand it smooth and do your painting. To avoid this try to do a good sanding job before you apply the bondo/resin. If you notice low spots fill then in with just bondo then use a fine grit sandpaper not to take too much off. This will keep from making the filled in spot low again. Only sand the filled in part. this will even it out and allow for you to do the bondo/resin stage. Just a quick lil short cut to keep from doing layers and layers. However if you sand too deep on the resin/bondo stage you got to go back and do bondo all by itself again.
