Cracked fairing repair
Guys, are there any materials out to repair fairing cracks (epoxies, fillers etc...).
Thanks.

My experience, once you gotta crack, unless you bolster the rear side, epoxy with metal mesh, and then strip and re-gel and paint the outside... you will see the crack. But with the reinforced back, done correctly, will likely not have any more funcrtional problems with it. The rear side is easy and very cheap to do.

What piece is it? By the time you buy paint, epoxy, etc you can prob find that one piece on ebay or on here for cheaper.

Guys, thanks for the replys. I figured it would be cheaper to buy used ones and repaint
them rather than repair the existing ones. Later...
