We follow along as we repair a plastic bumper in the shop. This video takes you through all the steps without being too technical. Our body shop is located in Napierville, Quebec...we are a small shop without a large overhead so we can take the time to do things right....

Hey I loved this video great work! I have paint chipping on my bumper in such a wide area that filling by hand each one would not make sense. To repair such a job should I fill the paints chips with filler then sand and then paint?

@SKEGZ If the paint is peeling you should strip the bumper completely and re-paint. If its just large chips and the paint is solid you must sand them down to a feather edge, then prime, then sand and then pain....

Beatiful work. I want to fill in some licence plate braket holes. Its a new bumper and imeondering if the whole bumper will need repainting..

@lestliness You can blend in the repair like I did in the video, that is put color coats on the repair and extend them into the untouched bumper but you should clear the whole thing.Make sure you taper the holed well on both sides to give the adhesive some surface to stick to...

what type of urethane adhesive did you use?

[bsgautomobile]

@EastCoastModZ Its epoxy actually, I use the evercoat flexible plastic system... I really like the way it sands quickly and cleanly...

@bsgautomobile Thanks for the tips.. I'm actually having a body shop do the work. However I like to have an idea on what it takes to do this kind of work so that when I talk them I'll at least sound like I know what I'm talking about. I wish you were here in California, I'd have no problem spending the $500 or so to get these ugly holes patched.

@cipher348 i bumped someone and im really afraid of this... it shouldnt be more than $100

[cipher348]

@davids8aff it would be about $250 - $300, many shops rip you off and say it will be $500 or more.  Trust me.
