Evening all,
After a bit of work between meetings today I’ve managed to transform what I picked up just off a local roundabout this morning:
Here’s the unfortunate item
Since then it’s been sanded down and attacked with the Dremel to create a valley to get some molten plastic in to reinforce the large split what it’s been run over since Saturday evening:
Valley created
Fibre plastic added (with a solder iron)
Flexible plastic added
Filled and sanded
A few pin holes where I don’t waiting enough before sanding but not the end of the world
Primer cured and sanded (800 grit)
6 coats of paint and 10 coats of lacquer
Yes there are some slight/minor imperfections but with this item rather low on the car I can accept it’s not perfect. You’d not notice to be honest and they may even disappear when I get the 3000 grit and polish on it tomorrow.
Such a dramatic change and resolution to what I picked up from the road earlier this morning.
Kind regards,
Tom
