Default Bumper rebuild - DIY

I've been backed into more times than I can count...
and the number of cracks and out right holes just kept growing...
(not to mention all the rock chips and lip scrapes )

Last month I finally got around to pulling the bumper and rebuilding it.
and (after letting the paint cure for a month) I got it mounted up today!





I forgot how much I like this bumper!

here's a sample of the process

cut away all the broke fiberglass (plus grind out any large rock chips) and sand down the hole nice and smooth




fill the resulting gap with fiberglass (from behind )



bodyglaze and wet sand the patch nice and true


Prime and Paint!
