Fender flairs

I haven't made the repair yet, but I'm going to use a 2part epoxy with the some fiberglass mat. Probably a couple of coats. I think that when the resin would begin to harden it gets hot and would melt the thin plastic. I will post when I get the repair done as to how it turned out. Might not get to it for a few days though.

Try the inexpensive Quick & E-Z method first!..;)

The cracking is easily fixed with some fiberglass repair on the *backside* of the fender.

Flexing is usually the cause - and *will/may* repeat in the same area again.
Use a strip of thin metal & pop rivets *under* the fiberglass mat and resin to stiffen the area of the crack.

Faded?
Either store-bought spray paint (cheap!) -or- custom mixed (matched color) spray can from auto paint store for about $10-$15.

I fixed mine with fiberglass. I kept the repair on the inside so it is not visible. Works just fine.

Thanks B.O. I will call her, I have a couple of other issues that maybe she could help with.
