Use Automotive GOOP... damn good stuff, stronger than glue. So, if u accidentally apply on ur hands... it's there forever. Price is RM 20+.

abcd,

just curious, what's Automotive GOOP? How is it being used? apply just like normal glue? Where izit available? thanks

 

[xerofighter]

yeah. im also curious. where to buy? i may remove the sticker and slap on a KY jelly sticker and pass it on to my friends.

It's a glue for repairing any part of the car except metal. I used it to glue down my VR4 grill mesh to the CF version of the same grill.

U can get it from Ace Hardware or Home FixIt (some hardware store in 1U new wing). I'm planning to use it to repair my dashboard (the PVC layer is coming off due to heat).

Silicone also can do the trick of repairing the dashboard or car parts right ...? (not talking bout the wire mesh) ..

 

[acbc]

Silicone will not stick unlike GOOP. It's good for sealing glass / engine.

abcd,

Will the GOOP remain sticky after application, like blu-tack? or it will harden by itself?
Silicon can flex but still could hold on to the surface. What abt GOOP? thanx

 

[acbc]

GOOP will harden after 24 hours to something solid n water / vibration proof.

hey acbc..thanks a lot for the advice...is GOOP like resin glue? need to leave it to cure one? my bumper is made of resin o plastic..dunno which one lar..but either one of those 2...will it stick well? i plan to put mesh first then spray it so it'll look better..

u also can get fibre mix at local hardware, rm15

 

[straightouttatokyo]

glue and sticking products can cause the paint to crack off if you ever want to remove the mesh. i used sticky wall hooks on the inside of the fibre galss and cable ties. easy to take off and secure and wont mess the paint up if you remove mesh.

 

[weikhee86]

ic...but i'm sticking the mesh inside of the bumper..and my bumper is plastic not fibre..after putting mesh i want to spray everything..i need opinion frm u guys here..

rat glue can or not? i pretty much use it to stick anything, including hunting down cicak. kena hand then very hard to get it off... won't dry off one..

 

[straightouttatokyo]

if its on the inside you could use bog, then sand it back to a smooth finish, that way youll be able to spary it easily to.

hey guys i just sent my car to the workshop to attach the aluminium mesh grill onto the bumper...will post up the picture later..tell me what do you think of it ok? need opinion from you all..

 

[nitrus]

do post it up :regular_smile:

 

[weikhee86]

guys..what do u think? these are the pictures of before and after..

 

[rollakid]

guys..what do u think? these are the pictures of before and after..

1. you need to take some lesson in picture taking lolx
2. looks okay, doesn't look like some second-rated DIY project that makes your car look worse
3. probably better than what proton guys will do to it.
4. personally i prefer one colour bumper, so if i were you i might spray the mesh black.

just my 2 cent.

hey thanks for the feedback..actually i got it done at the workshop..cos i thought if i do it myself it's gonna look damn ugly...next project i want to spray the bumpers and skirting the same colour as the car's body..unicolor mar..the mesh spray black o blue nice?
