FIIBERGLASS

fiberglass it on the back side, bondo on front..

bondo dosent bond anything.. It dosen't glue anything, it dosne't fix breaks in stuff.. IT fills in cracks and holes so you can make a smooth painttjob..

Fiberglass or plastic weld is the only way..

Re: need help with painting

doesn't have to be fiberglass, if your pockets are big i suggest carbonfiber :YEAH or even that hybrid kevlar carbon, u can buy this stuff just like fiberglass.
