Got the idea off Ben & Zach, yellow vinyl wrap, looks way better IMO, gives it some colour

[Shiv]

Looking good Steve! Bummer about the finger

[Steveee]

The whole bumper issue has been getting to me more and more, so I decided to get off my arse and fix it. Got quoted $500 to fix it and thought that seeing as i dont have that sort of money lying around. Soooooo, DIY to the rescue, ended up sanding it back over a few days, using some stuff i found in my garage to connect the broken pieces of the bumper back together, i think it was Selleys knead it, either way it dried like rock, did some more sanding, used a can of spray putty on it, more sanding, primed it then got some paint from Autolac in brookvale today and painted away this evening. Looks sooo much better though im gonna get one more can of base to fix up a few tape marks
Pics-
Before:



Spray putty

Primer


After Paint-



I assume with a bit more drying time the clear coat should give a shinier finish.

[Matt]

From the pics it looks like a really good job mate!!

I wouldnt dare give this stuff a go lol

[Steveee]

Cheers Matt. Hah yeh, you gotta look close to see the imperfections but ill fix them real quick
I wasn't going to touch it, then i started doing a few temp fixes and strangely found it really fun

[Adam]

If you polish the clear it will come up shiny as, but let paint dry for a few weeks!

Looks gewd!

[Steveee]

Thanks Adam, Yeah Dad told me the same thing, let it dry for ages then cut'n'polish

[Morgan]

That looks great, Steve!

Good on you for tackling it yourself.

$500 is $500 and what are the chances of you going offroading next weekend and scratching it some more?!

Hahaha

[Steveee]

Yeah Cost about $100 in total with paint, fill, primer, sandpapers. No More offroad lol i want to lowback it but i was just reading through Jon's thread and it looks quite expensive and involved to low a H6 Obk =/
