How to Repair the Front Bumper of a Hyundai Xcent
Model: Hyundai Xcent
MK 1
- Years 2014-2020
Let's look at a great method to fix a dent on the front bumper of your Hyundai Xcent. The first step, after removing the bumper from the vehicle, is to bevel the edges of the break from the inside. Then, use fine sandpaper around the edges and clean both the inside and outside thoroughly with alcohol. Clamp the top of the bumper with a pair of pliers to keep it secure at the top. Tape the edges of the break on the outer side with body shop tape along its entire length to hold it in place. We will work from the inside with a specific product, JB WELD Plastic Bonder, which costs about $13 on major e-commerce platforms. It is a two-component adhesive that needs to be mixed, after which you can spread it on the break. Then apply reinforcements and another layer on top. Allow it to dry thoroughly for 24 hours, after which you can remove the pliers and the tape from the outside. Carefully sand with 1000-grit sandpaper, then clean well. At this point, you need to apply a plastic body filler, which can be purchased for about $10 for the outer part. Let it dry well and then sand with 1000-grit paper. Clean thoroughly and apply a coat of primer ($5.85) to the area to be repainted. Once the primer is dry, sand with the usual 1000-grit paper, but wet. Let it dry and clean well. Now apply two coats of spray paint. The job is done, and it looks really perfect.
