as long as you take your time, its easy. Making everything even, level, etc is a nightmare, plus there a whole load of sanding, make sure you buy a nice mask for sanding - fibreglass dust is very bad for you.

Hopefully you will come out with some good results.

take your time is all i can advise, the smoother you layer it the easier it is to sand.

use different grades of paper to rub down, get some 2pack stopper.

also try using for top layers the thin filtery type of matting, looks smoother and easier to rub down. its kinda a lace matt

i'd advise doing some practice runs on things that can be reversed, cos if you balls it up it can look very bad! I had loads of practice before i started doing stuff for customers, cos they will mind if its all scew wiff!
