So I broke off the tip/edge of my roof wing. The right side if looking at it on the car. It chipped off about 1/4" of it. nice flat spot there now. Cannot find the piece. How shoudl I go about fixing it?

Fiberglass and resin...

yeah. That's what I did. I really did not want to do it though lol. Was trying to see if there was another way.

I don't really know. I was just super sad and mad and emotionally turmoil-ed. Made this thread out of grief hahaha.

Must admit, was truly a bitch moment of mine.

use putty with fiberglass fibers in it ( i think its called kitty hair over there)... depending on how big the missing chunk is , you might need something to support it. anyway its gonna be a bitch to sand so you d better have a rotary sander or a ton of patience (or a dremel tool with 80grit disc) , and then you will use a thinner polyester putty for detail. then primer, sand again, paint. that's a lot of materials for such a small damage, costing around 20-30 bucks, so unless you have them lying around, take a dremel and shape the cut as if someone bit it off , that will make a conversation starter.
