Plastic Repair

[pstamper]

Bought a product called Plastex and works great. Even comes with a mold to form tabs and parts. Ground out all the cracks on body work and filled in. Grind down good as new. Should have used molding bat on all the tabs but fiqured I would start over for more strength. http://www.plastex.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ground up ABS plastic and acetone. You can make a lifetime's worth yourself for just a few $$.

It is a really fine powder and the kit has some nice tools. Here is the panel from accident at track and the start of the repair.

That is the same product I am using. Was not that expensive but working great. Next try is to graft a section of the front fairing. Have to figure how to match the cut.

All prepped for finish.



Decided to wrap instead of paint with upcoming track days

If I was a body man I would of painted it. But it is a track bike so will continue with wrap. Thinking of still installing factory decals. Maybe the TZ 250 decals from Alpha Graphics.

I haven't spoken to them yet but judging by their facebook posts they had a fantastic time. I'll speak to them soon and hopefully they have some information for me I can pass on to you.

Did you have a good look throught the IOMTT website? It's full of usefull info.
