    I was leaning towards ABS or thinking maybe SMC. Repairing a few cracks in it. We’ve already started now, using a rigid 3M epoxy adhesive. It covers all of them. I was more wondering if I’d need to use a plastic adhesion promoter on it or not, most rigid plastics you don’t, also if you sand it and it powders rather then smears it’s usually an indication no adhesion promoter. I know if you use it where you shouldn’t and vice versa it won’t bond as well but it looks like I’m in to far now anyhow, bodyman’s got er near done now.

    Its RIM reaction injected molded polyurethane. As long as your adhesive covers the poly i think your good. We refinish just as you would a bumper.
