Going to have to be careful not to melt through the top coat. Hope to save the fender color of Immersion Blue that was only made for 2007 2008. So used ones on the market are rare or unobtainium.
Anyone played with one of these?

I recently bought one of those UV plastic glue kits and was super surprised how well it repaired a broken plastic tab on some trim for my DD. haven’t really stressed it yet, but my finger test didn’t snap it off.
