I repaired a small section of boat fiberglass and a had to buy more cloth. I would recommend doubling up on cloth.

well of course it depends on how big your fenders are and I would estimate probably 2 to 4 bags but don't use the fiberglass mat that comes with the bondo for making an entire fender, you probably need to get the heaviest fiberglass mat.the light weight stuff would leave you frustrated and disappointed it's just too thin.

I use a husky from home depot, depending on how much you are spraying you may be able to get by with a smaller one (I am using a 30 gallon for a fender and bumper)

sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I recommend you e-mail Fender's customer service. They have answered several questions for me.

I didn't use foam because you need to be pretty accurate, but there was so much "paint" I could've done 2 cars, so I don't think the foam will soak up too much.

No, Absolutely not. You need a liquid epoxy or polyester resin specifically for fiberglass work. This is thick and filled with powdered steel.

I used Plasticoat for undercoating on the inner fenders and the bottom of my 50 Studebaker. It has more "plasticity" than undercoating, it is seemingly more durable. I personally think it has better adhesion than undercoating. I am going to do my rocker panel bottoms, the little strip that is below the chrome panel shortly. This does not have a "finished" look about it but it does look fairly decent as a trunk interior or for the bottom of the rocker panels. Do apply several coats for a good finish if you plan to use it on your nerf bars.....they should look pretty decent.

The pack I bought has 20 strips. 3 of them are fairly close to a Fender Thin thickness. The rest are close to a Fender Medium thickness maybe a little thicker.

Use half. Make sure it's spotless, dry, and warm. VERY THICK. Doesn't cover fast. I have a 5.5 gallon tank and used whole kit. Big mistake. Ended up leaving a half inch thick 2 lb pile in the bottom of my tank. Didn't help the tank was lightweight carbon fiber. Then it leaked again. Caswell replaced for free. Gotta cut in half, grind out and do over with HALF kit

Really, it depends on the finish that you're working with...Most people use too much to start and then try to work a bigger section than they should. Small sections and small amounts works best for the DIY. Hope this helps some. One bottle did a F-350 Dually that badly needed it.

similar but this will make fenders black again that have sun damage. I use both..

It really depends on what car you have. Each type of car uses a little different amount of vinyl. You can easily measure how much you need by measuring out each panel on your car from seam to seam. We always recommend a little extra just in case you have to replace a panel or two

It depends on your draw length, we recommend CARBON: B00JT0KRIC, ALUMINUM: B00QB0K440 OR B00JVFR7GK, FIBERGLASS: B00Q9CQVVU OR B00Q9CQW1E. I hope that this helps.

It depends on what you are doing, You didn't say. What are you going to use it for- fiberglassing? How large of a piece? Are you using it to fill something? How thick will you use it? You might want to find a discussion forum for what you are doing and ask there. The epoxy comes in quarts and gallons.

I see that the tire size is 32 width. If this is correct, I would probably get the hybrid sized fenders. That is what I have on my Bad Boy with 28 size tired, but I plan to use 32's in the future. If you plan on using skinnier tires, then you may want to go with the road size fenders. The hybrids will ensure that you stay dry though. I love mine. I ride in the rain all of the time.

Hmmm not sure bur if fiberglass is very shiny maybe it's best to use only microfiber materials?
