Use an actual 2 part plastic repair, like Lord Fuser. You'll also need an adhesion promoter.

another option is a flexible polyester glaze. you use it pretty much just like any other filler. But its a good idea to put some adhesion promoter on before you put on the filler. I've had great results with it. But it also depends on where the repair area is, if its in a spot that flexes a lot your probably gonna have a hard time keeping it from cracking no mater what you use.
