Terry,

Although I too would rather do this repair in the shop, it is do-able in situ with the AcrillyKey(sp?)kit.

By adding the right amount of colored powder you can get a dead on, almost invisible repair.

The kit should have everything you need, although it is helpful to have a Dremel set with a tiny burr to excavate a small area to place a dab of the mixture to serve as a foundation. It's all in the directions.

Once the powder and solvent are mixed you have about a minute to put the mixture in place.
It dries hard and ready to work in about five minutes.. Hope this helps.
