[QUOTE="xtremekustomz, post: 2190014, member: 569952"] Are you positive the enclosure is strong enough? Can you push on it with your thumb and have it flex at any spot on the box? If so you will need to come back over it with another layer or 2 of fiberglass matt. If it isn't strong enough you are wasting your time and money. If you have never fiberglassed and painted get ready for ALOT of work. If done right it looks good, but if not....well...you know. Just plan on spending hours upon hours of sanding. And I recommend the rage gold body filler. It is cheaper than extreme and sands pretty good. Just make sure to feel the box and get any low or high spots out of it before final prep. As for paint, use automotive paint. Single stage is cheaper but if you have never painted base coat clear coat is the way to go. I've got some pictures on my website at [URL="http://www.undefinedcustoms.com/memberrides/daryl"]http://www.undefinedcustoms.com/memberrides/daryl[/URL] that shows some step by step things I have done.
