process
The area of loss was prepped with a reversible barrier coating, infilled to level the loss area to match the finished paint layer, then inpainted to match the original finish of metallic gold with black speckling.
The structural brace that had broken loose from the underside of the Trike’s body was cleaned and prepped for repair. Using fiberglass resin and fiberglass, the brace was rejoined to the body panel in the same manner it had originally been bonded to the body to appear original.
