Isn't there a plastic bond like they use to fix little dings in car bumpers from when your wife goes to the supermarket and tries to park?

could you not colour polyester resin -ie the fibre glass resin with the colouring agent they use, when making a certain colour fibreglass???

-there is a uk based fibre glass supplier on the net that sells all the different gel coat pigments

-the term for fibre glass is grp

-there you go, add the correct colour pigment to your epoxy, and apply, using a shuttering type mould, then sand to shape
-easy

-=although i had a red skyway once that i hit a kerb with and broke out a bit of the rim, It didn't stick very well with araldite, prehaps i should have let it dry :D -the tyre popped it out when i pumped it up!
