???

No I'm confused

What anything got to do with theft??

It's just a bonnet and I'm playing with fibre glass so thought I would give it a go, iv also got a factory bonnet I'm painting both at the same time

Just want one with reverse cowl for a slight bit of tuff ness sometimes and the hot days as it gets a little hot under the bonnet

Ok so after every one has a laugh at my spelling mistake I'm still after products to use to stick fibre glass to steel

I don't trust sica flex, that will show cracks in the paint real quick

Obviously the 2 part epoxy resins are the way to go but nearly always require a special gun for the $70-$100 extra or sometimes more

Things like this 3M panel bond 8115
This is my pick so far

The 8116 is also good

3M Panel Bonding Adhesive 08115


3m 5200
This would be the cheaper option as a standard caulk gun can be used

##3M

Fusor 116

Aparently not as good as the 3m epoxy items above

Lord Fusor 116 Plastic to Metal Cross Bonding Adhesive (Medium)
