After the fibreglassing you need to use some bodyfiller (P38 i think) to smooth out the imperfections in the FG, sand that down, then primer bit more filler (if needed) more primer and then paint!

why do people insist on using P40 its nto fibreglass its pink shit with no strength properties - its meant as a bridguing agent to fill larger gaps than P38 is capable of - but nto to build up layers - it weighs so much - to the point where you would be ebtetr off making perfectly sanded MDF pods and skimming them with UPOL or P38 to get that "fibreglassed" look
to do tham properly look at buying a "fibreglass Matt" kit from Halfords or a motor factors and build yourself a good frame to lay it over - they will be strong, smooth and light!!!
