Im confused. Why did you even glass it? You basically added double the work to the project. Just sand to the smoothness you want, prime and paint.

@HiJackZX1 yes that is easy way to do it. but without an electric sander it would have taken me forever to sand down that dash, it was pretty rough and textured. the glass also gives it a much more smooth feel anyways, ive done it both ways now on more than one car and the glass is by far the best outcome ive seen.

@HiJackZX1 I'd say he did a great job considering it is for a Dodge Neon. Bodge job, bodge car.

where is the fiberglass you only put the epoxy on it and the steps between the sanding paper is way to big let me give you some advise do not take steps bigger than 100 and use 320 grit than 400 grit or 500grit thats aceptebel than move on to 1000 grit its easy while sanding and its faster . anyway its stil a nice job

You didn't fiberglass anything. All you have to do is sand it smooth and paint it. Using resin isn't needed on hard plastic like that. Smoothing the vinyl you sand the vinyl off and use resin and glass mat to build it back up for the smooth look.

i did it came out so fuckin good no cheap sand paper no cheap paint and u will be so surprised lots of sandin use bondo for bigger dashes tho kinda hard to get super smooth but that depends on how good u want it to be thanx for the vid

@thesnowboarderX i paid close attention to what you did and i think its brilliant... You didnt use any type or fabric or anything. You applied the fiberglass directly to the platic. I can take your same recipe and perfect it a little, so thanks, i really appreciate it...

@TheSnowboarderX ABS and Polypropylene Plastics used in car interior are A LOT softer and easier to sand than fibreglass. If you want to make a textured piece of plastic smooth, sand it with rough grit (e.g. 100grit), then apply some filler (bog), sand it smooth with 200grit~ (yes you can do this by hand. Just takes more work), then high fill primer, sand again with 400grit~, then paint your color coat.
