Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
fibreglass repair
Bloody wind knocked my bonnet shut and has caused stress cracks. I have always had a misalignment issue, I have now done that and now have to repair this long thin crack, hopefully without messing the paint job up to much. Have just ran a slitting disc along the crack, it appears to be just the gelcoat and paint, Any tips in what to use and way forward? I'm not good with body work, cant weld it and hit it with the big grinder :-) Anyway, do I open the crack width ways so that it has a bevel to fill and what do I use? filler, resin, gelcoat repair stuff? plus any tips on keeping it neat?

Glad to say that fiasco is done with, ended up scotchbrite pads over the whole bonnet. Then a surprise visit from Billie Whiz of the hillbillies, he blew over the whole bonnet with a very wet coat of clear and job done. I hope, stupid car :-))
