There are many type/brands that work. If you go to your local Auto store they will sell the resin. Bondo does have it in thier product line. I bought a gallon of and it ($12.00) and covered the grill and hood of my M. I may have been able to get more out of it but I was doing some other fiber repair too. For preperation: I didn't have any oil on my hood or grill so I used a three step step process to remove the rust. 1st I took an angle grinder with a very stiff wire attachment (brush) to all parts I could reach. Then I used a fine wire attachment on a drill to get the inside cross members of the grill (I did remove the screen). I then took some rust converted (acid) and painted it on to areas that I could not reach with the burshes. Then I coated the outside, mixed some more after that dried and coated the inside. I used cheep brushes but small rollers may work also. I used a plastic oil changing bucket (new) to mix the resin. It made it real easy to remove the left over resin by flexing the bucket and peeling out the hardend fiberglass.

Put this on the Paint and Bodywork forum and help the guys there. That is where they go to get tips on repair.

I don't think this is out of place here. There is always questions about paint and prep precedures. I myself never look at that other site so am glad he put that post here sounds like a good idea. Respectfully Richard

I have not tried it on valve covers before. I don't know how it will react to the heat...It may be worth a try. There is some flex to the resin when it hardens so I don't think It will chip easily. The key is to remove all oil from the parts first. The pits and corners help the resin adhere. I think I actually took pictures of the process...I need to check on my home computer for them.
