Fiberglass Hood Repair

[OrangeCrush]

Racer,

Sorry, didn't mean that as hostile. When I said gelcoat is overkill, I was thinking of real gelcoat, the kind we repair boats with. The $25 marine color gelcoat kit is a quick repair... My apologies.

As far as painting a little chip, I guess it depends on how anal the person is. It's kind of like when I get a customer in that has a stone chip and wants it brushed touched. Brush touching does indeed cover the chip but it's only brushtouching. The only way to fix it perfectly would be to refinish it.

I guess being in the bodyshop business, I only see it as either perfect or not. Again, my apologies, it was not meant as an insult. The black gelcoat kit will make it look better, just not like factory. (which is the only way acceptable to me..lol)

That is the reason why I had a guy show up at my house at 4am this morning who drove all the way from Maryland to North Carolina just for me to paint his hood and do some extra work.

Anyway, next beer's on me.
