Repairing and retexturing a Ford Explorer bumper cover

This video demonstrates, from start to finish, how to repair a textured plastic bumper cover using a hot air plastic welder. After the plastic welding is complete, the dents and low spots in the bumper are filled with epoxy filler which is then sanded down to match the original contour. The bumper cover is then retextured with MicroTex texture material from Urethane Supply Company. Finally, the bumper cover is painted with Bumper and Cladding Coat so that it matches the original color.

I have seen aftermarkets that do fit.There is CAPA and non CAPA.The non CAPA fits a lot better

@wafrederick Might be cheaper, but most aftermarket caps fit like crap.

Cheaper to buy a new bumper cover saving time.Some are $27.00 for an aftermarket.
