So I was thinking about making my own little custom radio bezel (SBR wants like 40+) and Ebay ones are like 15.. but I had some ideas.
I was gonna use a thicker plastic.. but can't find a source that sells sheet plastic locally. I could use sheet metal but I didn't feel like polishing it. I found some lexan but It was in 1/4" thickness and I don't have a saw to cut it handy.
Has anyone ever tried this before? I was considering just brushing fiberglass jelly on some type of backing (aka cardboard, letting it set then painting it.)
Afterwards I was going to measure and cut for my cd player, AFC and then take a circular saw for the Wideband guage. (think its 2 3/4th in. diam)
Anyone have any tips that has more experience working with fiberglass before I start?
Thanks in advance
