heh pretty much, they were inspired by yours, but nope, another set of original VX door panels have done the way of the rattlecan

drivers side is done!

passenger side should go 10x faster since there will be no repair work. you can still see where the cracks were, but the panel is now solid and the cracks are very faintly noticeable. all in all a successful project, I'm gonna ride around with one of each for now and see which i like best





basically i used some superglue to hold the panel together at the cracks

put a thick (1/8" maybe?) layer of fiberglass under each spot, continuing 3-4 inches on either side of it, i tried putting fiberglass on top of the panel, but it got too thin to be helpful once it was smooth

although in the curved part of the door forward of the door latch, i fiberglassed pretty thick on top and blended it in so the whole painted surface is fiberglass, that eliminated the crack completely in that area

but in the areas where i could not glass on top of the panel, i primed the surface, then used a crack filler, sanded smooth, primed again, sanded smooth and put 4-5 coats of color, sanded and buffed, clear coat, another sand and buff until shiney, then gave it a coat of wax

...(thought the "Vehicross" decal imprint was from mine.. sorry )

oh yea i had the decal on the door originally, and my idea was to peel it up after painting to expose the carbon fiber through the blue paint, but well it just didnt turn out how i wanted it to, so i wound up sanding down and painting again
