I was wondering if anyone could pass on some quality suggestions for a material to use to repair this scoop of mine.
I was thinking of some type of epoxy or maybe a fiberglass repair would work on this plastic scoop. Not sure what is best but I'd rather not have to do it again down the road.... Thanks! |

JB Weld is a pretty good product.

Yes it is, I've used it for lots of things but never for a foundation for body repair. I thought about it but not sure if the repair would show through after a while...

I used a J B Weld for plastic. It was light tan in color. Worked great and sanded like body filler. Held up and no issues for a few years. Sold the car.

The scoop is molded pressed fiberglass.
I would use fiberglass to repair as it will last longer if done right. Especially for a clean break like that.

Well, I already bought some of the JB weld for "plastic" and started... I beveled each side and applied it to the backside. Pretty sure it will be fine but I'll bevel back the front side in a bit and use fiberglass repair there. Kind of an unorthodox repair method but I'd feel better if the material under the paint is all the same.
