Reparing Bodykit.

[antil33t 90]

Has anyone had experience reparing this type of thing before? It's some form of plastic, and not fibreglass.... Someone already had a go at fixing it, but the resin didn't stick.

Any advice? I haven't had it on the car in so long

I may aswell get some proper advice before paying someone else <.<

When I fixed my I.S lip I used Norski polyester resin, worked/sticks fine

Sand roughly before applying resin and glass (on the back obviously)...used the resin to fill in the cracks in the front after the glass had set, sanded, skimmed with bog to smooth out before more sanding, primer, paint, Done.

If its plastic, get it plastic welded. It will come up so good you will never no

[Lucan 196]

Didn't even think of plastic welding

Works mint, Quite cheap to. Just had the bumper on my ST220 all tidyed up and painted.

Sweet as, I did get a quote ages ago to have the crack fixed, was like 70 bucks just to weld it though.

I may aswell clean up all this resin before taking it back... Thinners seems to work slowly, anything else that might work?

Prepsol is pretty good.

Is it warped in any way?

It doesn't look too bad, Just needs something behind it to pull it back into line then just sand down and fill off the front side. Save yourself some $$

[antil33t 90]

Nah, it's not warped in any way, it's just there's resin cloging where the plastic should line up.

Would go on an errand tomorrow, but have first aid course all day D: I'll see what I can do over the weekend. This is helping me get motivation to work on the actual car hahah.
