If you want to come to merritt island ill be more than happy to give you some or even fix it for you. It would only take about 2 minutes. That would motivate me to work on a fiberglass part on my car lemme know.

If you're looking to match the color so the ding is completely unnoticeable, you can go the carbon fiber cloth route, but it's a tad more expensive than the just as effective epoxy method.
