I have been very distracted following this weekend when my exwife started hearing evil voices in her head and i had to grab my son who was terrified. Mega Problems.... i'm sorry and moan over.

I know that there have been threads on this in the past, but the distractions are preventing a proper search... so I appologise for asking a stupid question again.

Problem..... I was out fitting the nose cone and cutting it around the headlight bar using a dremel on number 5 speed setting...... you guessed it, it slipped and i have been left with a deep scratch that I think is to deep to polish out.



do i have to paint the nose cone?

would it be better to fill the scratch with a clear gell coat, if so where best to get it?

any advise would be gratefully received.

no idea m8, but condolences on the ex wife! They can get crazy sometimes

Can you not get some gelcoat of the same colour?

Scrap it and get a new one, it just so happens I know someone who'll take it off your hands . Seriously though, if you're going to paint it you may as well use ordinary bodyfiller to repair it.

Many Thanks lads.

I should be more careful and not work on the car when distracted but life goes on.

i think i will have to try some of my model making skills to disguise it as the scratch will be by a headlight and not to obvious from most angles.

if that fails i will try to get some black gel coat.

will gel coat self level if i drip it into the scratch?
