Visit http://www.refinishnetwork.com for more auto body repair information. This is a bumper repair on a Chrysler 300 that has a split in the rear bumper cover. Shown here is Kent Repair Epoxy adhesive, Evercoat Polyflex and BASF urethane primer.
To start the bumper is washed to inspect for further damages. There is a small tear that may not be visible on the video but there is a clear hole in the cover.
The hole is first tapered out on both sides and reinforced on the back and front with epoxy. The epoxy is sanded fairly straight with a DA sander but final blocked with flexible polyester putty. You can simply finish in epoxy and it would make for a better job, however it sands much tougher.

This is a spot repair (blow in) on the front of a dodge bumper. This is a metallic blue being blended and partially cleared. The tape on the edges is known in the auto body repair trade as a back mask where the clear is blended on the roll of an edge. This is in no way a top quality repair, it is an economical repair suited best for used car lots and lease return vehicle. I must say they do still hold up pretty well when done properly. The bumper was polished with a coarse compound for the blender to adhere while the rest of the area that was cleared got sanded with 3000 grit paper, except the primer was 600.
This was a scratch originally that was feathered out and primed. For more information check out our website at www.refinishnetwork.com

Repairing Urethane Bumper Covers with an Airless Plastic Welder
Urethane bumper covers are often discarded because of cracks and tears. These bumper covers can easily be repaired using the airless plastic welder. Because thermoset urethane bumper covers do not melt, you will not be able to get a true fusion weld. The repair you get is similar to a brazing process.

Reshaping my front bumper (1997 Chevrolet Cavalier)
After seeing another person do something similar to this, I decided to give this a try. he only had pics of the finished product so I decided to document throughout the process.
this was my first experience with any type of bodywork so it isn't perfect. I think the results look pretty good.
the whole process took about 2 weeks and about $80-90 but I didn't have any sand paper or body working tools. the bumper was under $25 so if you already had left over material, you could do it really cheap.
the one thing is, there isn't another cavalier out there like mine.
