I should in theory be easy to repair but it , I have been told it is
difficult to get the stippled effect that it seems to have. Maybe in the
future they can make it as smooth as aluminium then it can be repaired and
no one will be the wiser. On the whole I think it a good idea and it is very
stable and has been proved with it being used on fronts and backs of van for
some years. I find it difficult to know why it can't be made with the finish
that the GRP fronts and backs have?
