Is it possible to repair a gouge in a Honda front fender?

Had a Harley fall on my Honda's plastic fender and it gouged it pretty deep. Is there a way to fill the gouge and repair it?Is it possible to repair a gouge in a Honda front fender?I don't think traditional Bondo will "bond" to the plastic!! Plastic is flexible and the Bondo will crack before this Halloween.



I would try an automotive "seam-sealer" You should be able to pick up a tube at an automotive paint store (and while you are there, tell them why you are looking to buy it and maybe they might suggest something even better).Is it possible to repair a gouge in a Honda front fender?
Get some of that JB Weld stuff. Clean out the gouge with a wire brush, then apply the JB Weld to fill up the gouge.



When the JB Weld has hardened, sand it down smooth and repaint the area.



I've done this so many times (with fantastic results BTW) that I could probably do it while asleep. I have a river rock driveway (a long one). Me and my kids all ride sportbikes....You don't even want to know how many times we have biffed it in the driveway. Somebody ought to make cast-iron fairings. :)Is it possible to repair a gouge in a Honda front fender?not sure what you mean by gouge? but it is like a dent? you can try

glazing and spot putty. get it at autozone. or if you can't hammer out at all you may have to do the fill with bondo route. also found at autozone. hope this helps you. i have used on a light back fender on

street bike and even filled a couple screw holes, painted it and it's working good so far. if i really was showing or something i'd get new one, but after 6 months in vegas you still can't tell. not perfect but for us poor boys it works good enough for every day use in the desert. hope this helps you, it did me.

good luck,

we're gone,

yes, bondo.Is it possible to repair a gouge in a Honda front fender?I agree that bondo is not an option. Try eBay and see if you can get a replacement. I think if you try to repair it in any way, while it will work, it will be ugly to look at. Good luck
