Fibreglass Repair - Where In Vic?

[aaron_25t]

Hey guys,

Have a fibreglass front kit that needs some work.

Any recommendations on where to go in Victoria (I'm in South Melbourne)?

Or if anyone feels confident they could do a decent job then I can forward a picture of the damage to you and you can let me know what you'd want to repair it.

Thanks,

Aaron.

Aaron, mate while that bar is off, get those mild steel pipes sanded back and repainted ... that and the repaired bar should clean that front end up a bit

when painting the pipes, ensure you hit them with an etching primer - or a self etching paint so that it wont flake off next time.

I had my intercooler pipes that sit up the front powdercoated black. I thought the powder coating would help fight off stone chips a little better than standard paint. Didn't cost much at all to get them sand blasted and powdercoated, $40-50 total from memory.

Yep powdercoating is alot better, but not everyone has access to this type of process.

Thanks for the advice, definitely needs it

I've just moved over from NZ, used to go here for intercooler piping:

Is there somewhere similar in Melbournethat anyone can recommend?

Hey aaron_25t, how much did it cost to get that fiberglass work done?

Abu actually referred me to a fibreglass repair shop near Oakleigh, they quoted $250 to full repair my front bar, probably because it was pretty good it had alot of cracks and chips and on the other side u could tell its been repaired alot with just cheap putty kind stuff. He said he'd pretty much have to re-make the bar in a primer coating.. pm me if u want the details
