Wheel Spats
Anyone has details on someone that can restore a wheel spats for me including spray painting? Mine has fine cracks and the front one needs some "body filler". Please contact Faizel 0 ate 2 ate too ate 6 zero 9

Re: Wheel Spats
Fine cracks in the gel coat are difficult to repair. They will return shortly after the repair is done. The original ones are not painted. The colour is added to the gel coat as the first stage of the moulding process.
Engine vibration, runway condition, and UV rays are all contributors. If possible, mount them with rubber tap washers. This will help to dampen the vibration.
By all means, give it a shot, but they are not that expensive to replace.
I have a spare set you could practice on if you like.
