taillight bezel repair
« on: June 07, 2019, 11:13:35 AM »
Has anyone had any luck repairing the cast aluminum taillight bezels.   Seems like a lot of them are cracked or broken.  Ive had no luck locally

Had them welded in the past . The problem once welded is that there can be a slight different in the shade of material around the repair even after working in over to blend in. Sometimes you get lucky and it blends well. Steve Emmert our mutual friend always did mine.

The product might be an option depending on the size of the actual repair.
