has anyone used this black fiberglass as a cosmetic replacement for carbon fiber?

My roommates quad has some damaged panels and we were considering just putting a layer of this down to repair them and make them look better.

Here is an image, fiberglass on left, carbon fiber on right.



On a side note, neither of us have much experience doing this, is it possible to make the fiberglass more flexible by adjusting the mix of resin to hardener, or using a special resin?

Thanks
