Fiberglassing TV

[Suhvas2001 10+ year member]

Hey Everyone I am new to the fiberglassing and I figured before I try fiberglassing and speaker box I would try a TV. I have a 2001 Ford Expedition and i am planning on mounting the tv on the center consol between the driver and passanger seat. NOT ON THE DASH but inbetween the seats. THe consol is all plastic and i wanted to just mount it at some what of an angle where the driver and passanger could see the screen.

My Question is what am i going to need to do in order to get the fiberglassed box for the tv to stay and not move around. How thick do i need to make this? how much of each material should i buy? Its just a 6.4" audiobahn tv. And maybe while i am making the box i will install tweaters on the sides of the tv just to make it stand out more and sound better. I know this is long but i want to start building this thing saturady. Oh last question i can remember ok when the fiberglass dries its like a white/yellow color and since the consol is plastic and its like a tan color, would it be best to try spray painting the fiberglass after or wraping it in vinal?

if your gonna glass it, dont wrap it in vinyl, paint it. but this is a lot more work than u think with all the sanding involved...
