Can you get a pic up of what you want it to look like

Tried out a new moulding method yesterday and the results have come out pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself

Thanks for the idea James

They need a bit more of a trim and a polish then will be up for sale;

The installed pic isn't of these actual ones

Does anyone want to dib them before I put them up on ebay? Will be going for £55 delivered. I can wait till payday if required ( provided it's this month

)

Alex if i stretch some fabric over my fibreglass lids and epoxy resin them they should be ok right?
I want to fill some of the holes before i high build them and paint them.
Unless i cake it in high build with loads of coats.

The only trouble is that you may have a lot of work to bring the surface finish back down to smooth so it could compound the issue. If you let the resin dry on an open surface it tends to lump up.

How are the holes? I didn't really have chance to look properly with 5am eyes! If they're quite big, send them back and I'll make you some new ones with the new Henry technique. As you can see above it works well.

Dont worry im sure ill figure something out. I may apply filler too. If i mix epoxy resin with bodyfiller to make milkshake it goes quite runny and stong and cant get a smooth finish. Sand back, prime, paint and lacquer.

The other thing you can do is get the resin warm, 40-50 degrees and it goes pretty running and should fill in pretty good. Make sure you sand the existing resin back but I'm sure you know that one already

If it all goes tits up let me know and I'll replace them. I'll be after a smooth nsx blue rocker cover on payday
