Soviet's Cupholder Teaser

pull that thing off, and put a couple layers of fiberglass on the inside, and sand all that bondo down till smoth, then if you have any goudges or anything go back to NAPA and get some glazing putty. Thats what it is called here...it is a thinner last coat of bondo...comes in a plastic swueeze tube like some other things. Great for finishing, and it is more flexible once cured than bondo

If you want to smooth it out a little. Paint it white. Use the black as a guide coat. Get yourself a nice little stick of wood like what you use to mix paint with and put some 80 grit sandpaper on it. It will take a while but when you have all the white spots gone you then apply some finishing putty. That will make it pretty smooth. I don't know if it will stay together as it was mentioned that the two materials are different. But you can make it look a little bit cleaner. A+ for effort for the first try. Make another one and try it out of real fiberglass, not bondo. Should be much better. I will give this a try, although mine will probably resemble lukes with enough practice.

Yeah, it was my first time. I like how it overall came out. I am sure I will do another one down the road when I find another e36 318 center console.

Maybe if I was a expert at doing this and it came out looking like an OEM one than yes. I am not quite there yet. Need to learn the usage of fiberglass.

Got some medium-res pics now. I doubt you will really see the edges when it is installed.

I like it, thats all that really matter.

meh... not really that bad. i think some more sanding is in order, and something more elastic for a filler for the temperature stresses. oh well.

Props for trying and also having the cajones to post your efforts on R3V for us jackals to criticize. You cupholder is like nailing an ugly girl, it still feels good, but you don't want your friends to know.

Yeah I knew the type of comments I'd get when posting on r3v. But the ugly girl is funny a shit.
