I notice there is a Super Fast, Fast, and Medium. I dont think you want the semi-rigid from what Kevin has said here earlier in the thread. Almost sounds to me like the other three are just different work times.....but I could be wrong.

Yeah the medium is ok for what you will normally repair. They are just longer set times.

Re: Let's take the guesswork out of plastic repair!!!!!!!

Where can this product be purchased at?

Also, I'm getting ready to paint mine, and should I have flex agent put in the paint? due to the plastice front and rear bumpers?

Re: Let's take the guesswork out of plastic repair!!!!!!!

Here's my bowtie grill. Should I use the methods described at the begining of this sticky make this repair. You can see how the finish is cracked. I was planning on just filling the cracks with two part epoxy, sanding and painting black the same day the car is painted witht the same paint. Does that sound liek the best course of action with this repair?

83 Soory I haven't been on in months... That is kind of a tricky spot. You do need to repair the inside as well as the outside on that tear, but it has to be thin enough to allow your retaining bracket ot go in the groove. Just use my method and it will be strong. Use a Popsicle stick on the inside to smooth it around and keep it thin without it gobbing up and restricting the palcement of your bracket.

Rebel, I cant see the damage in that picture. Could you increase the size?
If it's just paint damaged and split, sand it off and prime and paint.
As for the flex...you only need it on the plastic panels.

Is the flexible skim coat epoxy an item that any paint store should be familiar with? Do you have any product numbers for reference for what you've used in the past? I'm thinking about going the 3M EasySand route.

I also have a question about spider web type cracks in the base plastic. I've started sanding mine down and the these cracks go through all the paint and primer and are clearly evident in the spoiler itself. Do I have to continue sanding until I get them out too? (I'm worried about keeping it even if I have to go that route) Or can I put the 3m easy sand (or equivelent) over the top to seal it and prevent it from cracking the new paint?
