Reply With QuoteI would think so if you can get it smooth with no fibers sticking up. Maybe start with some 400 grit sand paper. May have to wet sand. Then spray clear coat.

Repair for Fiberglass that is leaving splinters
This is on a 4wheeler like the one pictured. I placed arrows to point at the areas of concern. It's gotten so bad that I can't use it without getting fiberglass spinters in my hands and arms. I'm looking for a quick repair that will last a little while. Can I just run an sos pad to clean and roughen and then paint with krylon?

Go to an automotive paint supply store. Buy about 5 sheets each 1,000 and 2,000 grit paper wet/dry. Buy a soft rubber sanding block. Ask them if they can recomend a clear coat in a spray can. Quarter the sand paper sheets and wet sand all fiberglass surfaces with the 1,000 grit. Now use the 2,000 grit using same method. Wipe all surfaces with a clean, wet lint free towel (get at the paint store too). Let dry, mask areas that are not going to recieve the clear coat. Final wipe down with something like denatured alcohol to remove any oil from your fingers (DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP)! Put about three to four coats of clear coat on it letting each coat set for about 10 minutes before recoating. The timing on this really depends on the instructions on the clear coat. Do all this in the shade or inside a shop.
This proceedure should fix it for the next two or three seasons if not longer. Good luck!
