Touching up my bumper...

[Raymoche]

So a couple of weeks back someone decided to use my car as a bump stop when pulling a U turn... I was infuriated, but came to accept that I will just have to put some elbow grease into it... (I am recovering from a fractured elbow, so that elbow grease isn`t greatly appreciated).

Just a quick before and after, I cleaned it, wet sanded the area, applied fillers, applied touch up paint until it was a slight bulge, let it cure over night, then using tape as a guide with a sanding block, I worked it flush with the paint the polished...

When I got to the car:


Wiped it down:


That aint buffing out... at all...:


Mask, to protect edges and limit sanding space:


Probably the best light investment I`ve made, Astro 40SL magnetically attached to the car with tape as a buffer:


Fillers...:


Touched up, leveled, and polished... The Results:



Could have done a better job leveling, the spot is wavy... look carefully:


Just shy of 3 ft away


I rate this at a 8 out of 10.
