   I am not sure exactly what the product is called, but there is some very
heavy tape-like adhesive stuff that I am removing from the fairing of a
motorcycle I am currently repairing.   Similar to the stuff you see inside
body panels on cars. Black, plastic, very strong adhesive.

  This motorcycle was crashed, like many fancy sportbikes, and the plastic
body work was trashed.  The PO used this black adhesive sheet stuff to
patch up the holes in the fairing panels, then squirted some awful paint
and camouflaged the patches with decals and stickers.  You could still tell
there was body damage, but not so much.  Whatever this product is, it works
really well in that the bodywork functioned and the material stuck on there
and conformed to the contours.  The paint stuck to it, too.  Wish I knew
what it is, I'd get some for my tool box, along with my Rescue Tape..grin.
