Title: Plastic Welding / Engine Body filler
Post by: Derpdiherp on 05 February 2014, 12:36:11 pm
So my Fazer has had one hell of a year. One off on ice, one on diesel and it got knocked off it's side stand last night from high winds :(.

So the damage is:
  2 Large cracks on the front fairing
  2 scuffs on the engine, one on the stator cover, and one on the other side.
  Exhaust scuffs and scrapes.

So I have a couple of questions. Do we know what kind of plastic the front fairing on a Fazer is? I'm assuming ABS but it's best to be sure before I attempt any welding.
And do you guys reckon it'd be safe to use bondo or some kind of body filler on the scuffs on the engine covers, then a respray?

Oh and one last question.. How much do you guys reckon it'd cost to get the front fairing resprayed?

Cheers!

I got mine plastic welded and resprayed for £115.


Didnt include the stickers though - still looking for them

Thanks for the help. Still curious as to whether body filler will be ok to use on the engine casing though :P

I'll think about contacting deefer666 when I have some cash, but I'm thinking about either vinyl wrap or hydro transfers at the moment, should be able to DIY it fairly cheap.
(And hydro transfers look damn cool)
