Title: plastic mudguard repair
Post by: Mick_J on Tuesday, 20 October 2020, 12:51 AM
Does anyone know of a really good plastic mudguard repair kit.  You tube has a couple of vids of stuff called plastiflex but at £55 a kit its not cheap.

Mjgt, how bad is it busted? Bodgy it up with whatever and wrap it, comes up nice, hides most imperfections. I did mine because of stone chips, $400 to repaint, $100 to wrap. Just a thought.

Havent used it myself, but this looks a possibility maybe? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastex-Standard-Kit-Plastic-Acrylic/dp/B0013K4V10

The other option is to find someone locally who does plastic welding - or buy a plastic welding kit yourself off eBay (but about £50)

These guys do it in Exeter - anywhere near you? https://www.bespokeplasticfabrication.co.uk/services/plastic-welding/

Ace of Sprays, Bristol will repair and paint it for you if you get stuck. He's done a fair bit of work for me in the past and he's faultless.
