bondo isnt going to be good for what your talking about doing. it expands and contracts with moisture and temperature, and if it is too thick, which it would be, if you were going to do your gauge cluster like you say, it will crack and fall apart. i painted all my car pieces that your talking about painting, and to get the fiberglass look, all you need to do is sand them down, so that the leather print on there doesnt exist anymore. either that, or do what seth did, and use a filler primer, you have to sand - prime - sand - prime etc etc, until all the leatherprint cracks are filled in, and you have a smooth surface. as for the gauge cluster idea, it would be cool to see, but using bondo or fiberglass is going to be nearly impossible to work into the shapes that you want. your best bet is to just paint the bezel, i did this, and it looks really nice, i painted mine silver, and it sets off the black gauge faces nicely.
