I was looking in a magazine, and someone made a fiberglass panel and "textured then painted" it to look like one of the stock panels. It looked just like one of the stock peices. What would he have used to texture it?

I dont have a scanner, but I reread the arcticle and it says he used a black texturing paint. Has anyone heard of or used this product?

something else you can also try is to just wet the cloth, then not fill the weave. that will leave the weave of the glass as a texture.

I did this to both my trunk and deck panel, till i got tired of it and filled it, sanded it, clearcoated it, then waxed it. now its flat, smooth and SHIIIINY [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
