Also made me think, it's funny how looking at something causes your mind to dig up something related but not commonly associated with motorcycle etc
Often ski base repairs are carried out by melting new plastic into damaged areas, referenced as "P-Tex" usually and available for hot gun applications https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115878830369 and looking remarkably close in material type to flexible bike plastics.
Could be of use in this case, very routine in maintaining ski or snowboard to correct damage on bases.

I wonder if they are the size for a glue gun and would they work!? I tend to use tie wraps as the filler with a soldering iron....

Did my first cover coat with the Rust-Oleum paint for plastics - decided against trying to get the top dent out - its a 50 year old bike at the end of the day.
A bit cold in my garage so I will leave the final top coat until spring after some flatting with 1200 grit.

That looks good Ted👍 I’m in the same dilemma with it being too cold to paint my headlight shell in this freezing weather.

Like the sign Ted!
