need some help, with body work
Tuesday, June 14, 2005 6:26 PM
hi,

My front bumper cover has a few holes in it that need to be repaired. These are not scrapes or gouges, they are holes like u would make if u used a drill. It's a long story, but now I'd like to fill these in and prime and paint so it all looks good again.

I was told that i should use a 2 part epoxy that is made for such a repair and flexible for filling in scratches and gouges in the bumper cover. However, I'm not sure how I can fill the hole in as I need something that will act like a backing so the epoxy won't fall out of the hole, and so it has something to stick to.

I was told that I can't use fibreglass since it won't bond to the plastic.

What will work?

Tape, blue painters masking tape.

Put it behind the hole, put the epoxy filler in the front. When the epoxy dries, remove the tape.
