u will need: large tub of fibreglass paste, filler, hi build primer, lots of 80,120,240 and so on grit paper,patience.
start off by gettin rid of the orange ppel effect by rubbing it off with 80 grit paper. u have to do this or the materials will not stik to the plastic.
then mix up a big dollop of fibo, and from the back, cover all the holes. make sure u work the paste in as u dont want any air pockets.
then repeat from the front. keepint the fibreglass as smooth as possible. wen set rub it down to the rough finish u want. then skim over with filler to get rid of the imperfections and sand again. repeat as nessesary. the prime paint and laquer if mettallic. easier said than done
