Minor bodywork damage

[daniel_374423218]

Hi, I have grazed the rear of my Sterling Eccles Topaz causing a scrape to the GRP/ABS plastic panel. It is on the lower corner and the damaged area measures approx 2 x 2 inches and is at a maximum of 3 mm deep. Can anyone recommend a product, such as a plastic gel filler which be suitable for a DIY repair...?

Many Thanks

you say its a maximum of 3mm deep, i would try so rub as much of the scrapes away with wet and dry and then t cut, i would avoid filling, you will be surprised how much will disappear

just be careful a plastic panel is only approx 4mm thick at its thickest

hi paul again, has the scrape gone through the gel coat or the plastic can you see a hole on the other side, if you can get to the back you could strengthen it, but i dont think it sounds that bad try my first suggestion and see what it looks like

Hi Daniel

If all else fails put a reflector over the scratch or a GB sticker to hide it.
