ive recently started working on one of the NSR's i just obtained.
and the bodywork is pretty bad on one of my bikes...
i really dont have the money for TYGA's fantastic bodywork right now, as i just bought their pipes and a few other tidbits for my bike (ill take performance over looks for now)
there are a few small scuffs and gouges on the bodywork, but mostly there are some big cracks on parts of the body.
anyways, i tried some plastic weld, and it worked okay, but not good enough to trust a new paint job to if ya know what i mean..
i just bought all the supplies to do a fiberglass repair on the inside, and fiberglass bondo filler for the outside. all of the directions show it like you are rebuilding a huge hole or section..
curious if i should cut away some material to widen the cracks, or just place the fiberglass on the inside even though there is no "void" to fill
or if anyone has used a specific adhesive / plastic weld etc.. that is good let me know.. the bodywork is ABS plastic... i know when you do plumbing with PVC pipe you put some dope/glue on it, and in like 2 minutes it is stronger then the plastic, and will never pull apart. is there something like this for ABS?
also the bodywork is currently painted and clearcoated. what steps need i take to get it stripped and prepped for a paint shop to paint it. I want to do as much of the work myself as possible.
Thanks
