Are the side panels all fiberglass molded off the originals that you modified, or are they modified originals? You are really making some nice changes! I mess around with fiberglass and have had allot of issues once the piece is finished and it gets in the sun on hot days! The pieces lose there mirror like finish and you can tell it is fiberglass because of the waves that appear. The larger the piece the worse it is. Are you using polyester or epoxt resin? Thanks and keep up the great work!

All the modified parts are fiberglass molded off the originals. I am using vinyl ester resin. How thick are yours? Mine are around 3mm to 4mm; does the thickness count for the wave effect you mention on the hot days?
I am new to this and I don’t have any experience on fiberglassing, so any info will be great.

*********** EDIT ***********
I measured the thickness it’s 2mm – 2.5mm and in some areas 3mm.[This message has been edited by Chris_86GT (edited 01-12-2010).]

Nothing really new, but I am getting closer…
This was the final test fitting of the new parts before primer
And the sanding begins… 400 – 800 – 1500 wet sand paper

Whoa... you don't want to get it that smooth before paint. Any kind of paint you use is going to need some 'bite' from the primer. I use 400 grit paper myself. Some guys use 320, but I think that is a bit too rough.

I am going to paint the car red; I have bought the DuPont Ferrari red (acrylic, base and clear). A friend of mine has working in a body shop when he was younger and told me that the base coat is very thin and don’t covers sanding scratches even from a 800 wet sand paper. They where sanding with 1200-1500 sand paper before base. Also for red and blue (non metallic) they sprayed a layer of white in order to cover any body work on primer that will appear like a shadow on the final base.
