Repairing a cracked bumper

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

We can see in this video how to repair a bumper, which being made of synthetic material can be repaired in any case; we start by removing the paint at the damaged area, sanding and grinding the entire area. To put the broken parts back together, we cannot use staples because they do not stick, but adhesive that will help us reposition the various pieces. We wait for the glue to dry and then drill along the crack, cleaning it from underneath with 80 grit sandpaper. We will need to create a structure from the inside with a net and two-component glue, which will come out of the holes creating structure. Once it is dry, we smooth the crack from above, sand the entire area and apply exterior putty, always with the two-component glue, then sand the area with fine grit sandpaper. Then sand the entire bumper with fine sandpaper, and then with 320 grit by hand. Apply two coats of primer and then correct the puttied area with 400 grit and then the entire bumper with 600 grit. Now paint and it will look like new.
