i say paint it black too, but be careful molding things out of bondo. that ---- will crack. i have done body work my whole life so im not just talking out of my ***

yes BONDO...the actual name brand bondo will crack. If you use some nice plastic filler with the CORRECT hardener to filler ratio, it will NOT crack. At least not at the locations you seem to have planned on using it on. +1 for black, cleans the whole console up and matches everything. Unless you want that jdm bling blang factor yO!

What?? No purple ----- for you?? Aww man I love dem caca pussies..


Yeah paint that ---- black, unless those switches for hydro's.. Damm gangsta..

any body filler will crack when put on too thick and they are all about the same. the bondo brand will crack with a thinner amount than the rest but the difference isnt much.

when I do projects like that I use fiberglass resin instead. A bitch to sand but it's lighter and I've never had it crack.

Scott-EP

fiberglass is the way to go but if you are using resin only and no cloth that also will crack. for something like that i would recommend fiberglass matt. its messy, but very easy to work with and cheap.

where would i find the fiberglass resin ---- at....i did not see it at the homedepot, or at the part store

Scott-EP

the stuff i use is "West System". you can get it at boat stores. it is very easy to work with and is very strong. we fix airplanes with it. you want to stay away from the polyester resins. they arent as good and are also not as easy to work with. when it gets hard it is instant and without any notice. the west system slowly gets hard so you know when your working time is coming to an end. here is what you need. just get the 105 and the 206. the 207 is good if you are making something out of carbon fiber and plan to leave it bare. the 207 is for UV protection

nice work man.

The West System is great but the components can be a bit on the expensive side!
