Fiberglass body work
Before any repairs, as a reputable fiberglass repair shop, we first survey the degree of damage to your car. Depending on the intensity of it, we will provide an estimate, and then fix everything in the right way.
1) Repairing a fiberglass crack
There are several factors to put into consideration for the best fiberglass repair. The key factor we focus on is locking the new material to the old. Cleanliness is paramount at our fiberglass repair shop. Even with a clean surface, we still do a mechanical bond to secure the actual repair. To best do it, we drill a series of holes all-round the circumference of the repair to lock it in. We then mix the fiberglass resin with small gradual amounts of polyester resin and the hardener.
According to the room temperature, we mix small amounts while counting drops from the bottle. The final mixture is exothermic, meaning it puts off the heat while it cures. A rise or fall in the ambient temperature means that we will either add or reduce the hardener to ensure the best cure.
First, we treat the body with a base of resin to hold the mat in place. Then, we add a layer of chop mat. After that, we put the resin into the mat using a brush. The mat becomes transparent when fully wet. We repeat the process on the underside of the body to complete the repair.

2) Repairing a fiberglass hole
First, we tape the repair side and a piece of metal sheet fixed to form the crust of the hood. We then bend the metal down the center, masking off the underside of the metal as well. The panel is then taped to the hood.

We proceed to start with a nice layer of fiberglass to act as the top layer. With the fiberglass layer on, we continue with the process using a chopping mat. In this case, using a fiberglass docking roller pushes out any air bubbles that might be trapped. The process adds enough strength to the repair. Approximately seven layers of the mat can be used for the best repair. The crest matches the original hood and is fully locked in position.
Finally, we sand the repair smoothly using a body filler. Our fiberglass body work is no doubt the best.

Painting auto fiberglass
Fiberglass cars are rare compared to steel/metal cars. They have custom-made bodies fancied by car enthusiasts. Fiberglass is not durable, and metal chips easily. To make them look new again, they require frequent repainting.
Step 1
We sand the surface with grit sandpaper to prepare it for the car primer. We get our tools from the best fiberglass repair shop. This step allows us to notice any dents, dings, or warped areas that need attention.

Step 2
We wipe the cleaned surface of the fiberglass with a lint-free cloth, grease, and wax remover.
Step 3
Using the 1200 grit sandpaper and a long sandling block, we lightly sand the primed surface. We sand enough to conceal the top layer of primer to prepare the surface for paint application.
Step 4
When painting auto fiberglass, we use the best four coats of paint. When spraying the paint, we use light, even strokes, to prevent the occurrence of runs. We allow each consequent layer of paint to dry before application of the next coat thoroughly.
