Front Bumper Repair?

Yeah, I was hoping to drive over him with the truck when he gets home from school today. I'll do that right after I raid his bank account.

 

You can always plasti-dip that section, a lot guys do it.

 

That is a helluva good idea, Thanks.

 

Why repair? New CAPA certified can be had for around $60 from rockauto.com.

 

I just checked it out, shipping ads another $150.99 for a total of $210.78. Then I have to pay to have it painted, too much. I appreciate it though.

 

def fill and dip.

 

I didn't think the shipping would be so high. I've got crash parts before from rockauto and the shipping was very reasonable in the past. Sorry.

 

Thats how we do it around here- pretty much any excuse to go Steel!

 

No problem at all, I truly appreciate your trying to help (much better than getting Holier Than Thou parental advice lol). I use RockAuto regularly since I have a few vehicles and also have a few kids with vehicles, I help them all with general maintenance since I enjoy it and have a lift. The only shipping option for the bumper covers were "Truck Freight" or "Truck Freight with a Liftgate" which was $191.99 lol. Thanks Again......Mark.

 

3m makes repair panels that can be used. You need to heat up the dent and smooth it out as much as possible . Rough up the interior of the tore section of the bumper. Blow it off and use the adhesion promoter to clean it. Apply the 3m repair. Then you can either plastic weld the exterior or you can glue it. Feather out your repairs work. With the glue you will use very minimal putty if any. Sand the existing paint and apply primer. Preferably with flexible agent. Sand the primer and paint, preferably with flexible agent. Be sure to use adhesion promoter prior to painting on all raw plastic. Hope this gives you some insight.

 

Where are you located? Ive got a white one in Northern Colorado Ill let go cheap. Want it out of my garage

 

Thanks. I did look up many of the supplies you listed and after buying all of them it's probably be cheaper to have one of the local touch up guys that do onsite lot repairs give it a go. I know a couple of them and will email them a pic and they can usually give me a ballpark figure, I'll let you guys know how things turn out.

 

Thanks Reckless, much appreciated. Unfortunately I'm in Southwestern Ohio so no bueno.
