if you want the "glassed" look without any modifications done to them you can sand them down to 2000, high build primer - sand again then paint.

Honestly that sounds a bit low to me. And I'm not a bodyman but I wouldn't want it done with puddy, I would go glass for sure, just sounds more durable.

Does that kind of fiberglass work hold up to daily use? Ive seen alot of door panels that crack with use. I think it has to do with the vibrations and ppundings that they get from every day use.

If it's done right it should hold up for a long time if not forever.

gla$$ work most always uses body filler. whether gla$$ is laid depends on the person doing the work. see how something is built is with a wood framing setup with fleece wrapped over it to give it its shape, then fibergla$$ resin is brushed onto the fleece and let to cure. after thats done for door panels you dont NEED to have gla$$. kitty hair body filler is plenty strong enough. dashes are the same. now laying fibergla$$ will definately make the product a lot stronger and more durrable but is not always needed. sub enclosers are completely different. if multiple layers of gla$$ are not used the encloser will collapse.
