Around $100 or less depending on how many accessories you get to make things easier and more professional

Just resin would be cheap to use if you've got fleece or something.

But....

You might want to buy:

A resperator

Gloves

Actual fiberglass mat

Lots of paint brushes

Cost of wood for rings

Bondo

ect.....

blades for cutting the doors (metal and plastic), wood for making baffles, dowels for mounting baffles

Also how many feet of mat do you think I will need? And how much resin and which kind? Also won't I need hardner or whatever it is called?

I'd say three yards would be good so you can do multiple layers or re-do it if you mess something up and not have to wait to get more shipped to you.

About a gallon of resin give-or-take. Once again, depending on how many layers and if there are mistakes.

Resin comes with hardener.

I don't see actually fiberglass resin on the website just polyester and epoxy
