Ya Know if you go down to a Automotive Upholstery shop they usually
carry a Water resistant Door Panel material.
Just cut it with a fine tooth Jig Saw and install it and your done.
Glass and resin on stock Paper cardboard then painting black is a
major waist of time. If you have that much time on your hands do
something fun instead
