legend lip repair

[BlitzCB7]

Just do what most members here do, chrome spray paint

It aint chrome, i tell you, its more of like, a silver metallic, but it will look better than before.

Just try to make the surface as smooth as possible for the best results.

That's the plan now, but I have a spare set of fogs that I want to take the reflection shield off of and chrome them, why? Idk, I just want to chrome something for some reason lol

Forgot to add the update pix of the broken tab put back on and crack repaired, that q bond stuff is awesome!



Not the best job, but didn't have much time.

The lip is painted, just haven't taken any pix of it. That bondo is for small cracks and stuff, I just spread it everywhere pretty much.

what grit sandpaper did you use ? My legend lip is pretty scratched up and needs repainting as well !

whats the alternative to qbond?

can the one box of qbond cover the whole bumper?

i wonder if pastidip would work?

I think I used 120, 400, 600, 800, then wet sanded the primer with 1000, 2000 then black paint and clear coats

what did you use to fill in the scratches?

or did you just sand down the plastic?

This page answered a lot of questions I was about to ask, so thanks!

I just got a 94 legend lip at the JY, they crushed the 92(was in better shape) 2 days before I went back to get it ;'(. It's got lots of scratchs n some indents etc like your photos/thread talk about. Totally stoked that it's not a lost cause.

man this thread is old forgot about it. the alternative to q bond is just bondo. I ran out of qbond so I used bondo for the lip I have now. I actually just traded them this april after autocross.

with bondo you just gotta mix it well and apply it quickly. I use more hardening cream than it says to. works good too. make sure you prep the surface of the lip.

If you are going to use a filler I would suggest zmax. It is a very fine fiber glass filler that is easy to sand and to get smooth very little pin holing aswell it is less likely to crack than bondo.

+1 on the zmax, I had used bondo for years but even with layering it as thin as possible it would crack eventually , used zmax on a few of my more recent projects and it worked great, as mentioned above easy to sand.
