enots Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 few people have asked me how i made this since i posted a pic in the gauge thread so thought i'd post some pics i took while making it was pretty simple considering i'd never used fibre glass sheeting before. list of things needed are basically below* fibre glass sheeting pack from halfrauds*filler* basic tools and patience lolso basically i cut out the vents in the centre console and wrapped my gauges in some cling film. i then took the fibre glass sheeting and wrapped a piece around the gauge and covered with the resin and let that dry took about ten mins. after doing three of these i had the mold of the three gauges and set about setting those into the console like i wanted. I made it so the gauges are slightly slanted towards the driver.literally is a step of building it up layer by layer until you get what you want.just kept checking the gauges would fit well and i hadnt put too much fibre glass in the wrong places. hardest part i found was between the gauges as its quite awkward to get in there and keep it kind of neat.then it was just a case of putting a skim of filler on to smooth it all out didn't want to use too much as i didn't want it cracking most time consuming part was sanding all the filler back and trying to get a smooth surface.i then opted to use a self flocking kit my mate had lying about instead of trying to paint it and although its a bit patchy its alot better than what i was expecting it to turn out like lol Link to post Share on other sites
