Ok so I'm doing alittle project and I need to fill in a hole on a plastic engine cover. To be more specific, I am filling the nissan badge emblem hole on an oem 350z cover. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should use to fill it? Also, where to get it?

I am going to fill the badge hole, sand it down real nice, and paint it color match to my car.

Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks!

 

They do make plastic welders that my work. I know my buddies boss had one and he borrowed it and used it to fill some holes in his 4 wheeler fender and it came out pretty good for his first time doing it. This may help with how to do it.

hmm.. thanks man! I'll check it out

 

i just filled mine w/ bondo. it seemed as if it was fine, but i had to take it out because my paint job started bubbling up in weird places.

 

hmm..Jmonsale did this mod and he said he used fiberglass since it has more flexibility than bondo. I am wondering if there is any type of liquid fiberglass or something that I could just literally fill then sand down

 

i wasnt really concerned about flexibility since i cant see much flex happening, but maybe that's just me.

 

Fiberglass would be my recommendation. Don't use bondo because the expansion/contraction of the engine cover can cause it to crack since the cover will flex more.

 

thanks fellas. i'll take a stab at fiberglassing it
