Good luck in finding a Prepreg in short run quantities.  50 yards is the 
shortest that I've been able to buy, and at $23/yard that's $1150 to make 
your dash and mirror look cool.  Wood is cheaper........

BTW I'm sure that the mirror can withstand 180F which is what 
Lo-Temp/Hi-Temp will cure at (that happens to be the the hi temp for most 
paint cures).  Your not using it for strength so you can skip the Hi-Temp 
post cure.

Later!
