This for B-Maniac or Rod or anyone that could help. I have a Harley-Davidson golf cart that has the engine and running gear rebuilt and is now ready for paint and body work. It has a few dings and a hole about two or three inches in diameter, I can mix some mattings and patch the hole and one crack on the front wrap around. But I've never painted f'gflass before. Do I have to grind and sand the glass smooth or can I get it close and use Evercoat to get it really smooth? I am planning to use Omni MTK paint with expoxy primer. The cart is an off white cream now and I'd like to change it to Tennessee Titian dark blue and light blue and white strips. Suggustions and guidence would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Don

grind out any cracks in the fiberglass, then lay your matte, preferably from the back side first. over lay the back side damaged area at least a couple of inches. you should grind the repaired area between coats if using waxed resin. most glass you buy off the shelf has wax in it that will float to the surface so the resin will cure. you need to rough up the surface with 36 or 40 grit between coats. when you get it close follow with yor body filler, then finish as usual.

Like glennster said , once you put your body filler and surfacer/epoxy over the glass , the paint will never know whether it's glass or metal underneath. You may have static elect. problems. If so , use a static eliminator before paint.
