DIY Plastic Repair

I recently found a very good plastic repair product I thought I would pass along. 3M Automix 5895 available at bodyshop supply stores. I fixed a 1 3/4 x 4" burn hole in the plastic bumper on the MG and currently I'm using it to repair the cracks in the Maxima's dash. It also works fine on smaller scratches in plastic facias. The only down side is there is much finish sanding involved as it goes on quite heavy.
Hope this helps someone...

Thanks for the heads up!

The link for the pictures doesn't seem to work "page not found", but thanks for the product info.

The front left turn signal has been pushed in a bit on my Maxima and the bumper cover had a slight crack. This should help me fix it up and prepare it before painting.

Thanks again for sharing!

lol.

I looked at your link a little closer and realised that "cordomain" should be cardomain.


Good job on those repairs, should be good for my purposes too!

Thanks!
