Fiberglass, Body filler, then sand it smooth. Primer then paint as normal.

well those tutorials i got really helped and the thing looks COOL, but now what do i need to apply the body filler correctly and how long does that have to set??? the fiberglass took about 2hrs to have a complete set.

Mix the putty with the catalyst (for the body filler) and it is usually hard within 15-20 mins and sandable within 30 minutes if the catalyst reacted right.
