Hello,

Anybody have any ideas or know of products to make these look good again. Most of arches have bubbles on them ,maybe 1-2mm. A couple have holes splitting and some a bit large, whats suitable to repair them, I know fibreglass products but is it mesh or just a resin??

If you know fibreglass you will have a good idea that to successfully repair the micro blistering shown in the pictures can be difficult.

The techniques require the parts to be heated to expel moisture several times during the process and 2K is the best painting process, with all the complications that has for the home repairer.

It maybe best to replace rather than repair in this instance unless you have access to professional equipment.
