Hi everyone! The other day I went to reinstall the speaker system in my motorcycle fairing and discovered a huge crack near where the fairing mounts to the bike. The fairing was a custom fiberglass unit from a company not around anymore, so it's hard to get info. I am a complete novice to fiberglass repair, but I've been doing lots of reading up and plan on trying to fix it. My main confusion is the texture I found when inspecting the fairing. It has many little bubbles and a texture almost reminiscent of popcorn ceilings, just with smaller peaks. I included a picture of the outer portion of the fairing, where the fiberglass matrix is clear and visible. Am I seeing some sort of gelcoat? The plan right now was to order some fiberglass cloth and 5:1 epoxy from Totalboat, grind it out down around the very long crack and apply a generous support from the back. Any advice or info on what material i am looking at would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
