Plastic Welding

[400HP]

Hi guys,

I saw a report on TV a few months back and also a friend has told me that if you have a slightly cracked or chipped plastic front skirt/sideskirt or whatever that some smash repairers have plastic welders

these can actually add more plastic on and weld it back into shape... then it just needs a respray.. does anyone know who can do this?

Cheers

never heard of it.

wouldn't it just be easier to fibreglass over it, sand it down and then repaint it? if you do that properly then it will all be good.

well where cna i get that done?

[d0p3y]

pretty much any bodykit place should be able to do it.

you could do it yourself, just buy the fibreglass resin from a hardware shop should be about $25

i reccomend getting it done professionally tho, coz if u do it urself it might crack after a while.

400Hp, yes there is such a thing.

Where are you located?

Motorbike stores can usually guide you in the right direction

due to them repairing farings (bodywork) on a bike after a

prang.

Check out the Yellow pages for Plastic Welding there are heaps of places. Fibreglassing doesn't work too well on PP+EP which is what the front bars are made of they are fairly hard to weld too because of the EP additive

400HP, i didn't have a place in mind although i was going to

suggest Yellow Pages and stuff like that. Just would think

someone in your area might be able to help.

400HP: I have been hunting down a place apparently in Sydney called Plasti-Fix. They did some work on a friends car filling in dashboard holes where gauges etc has previously been attached. I want to same done.

Not sure about work on front bars/skirts etc but might be worth tracking them down.
