1st attempt at bumper repair.
 
im posting this after reading skitter skotters nice repair of his scuff. i hit my bumper on a curb like an idiot, and cracked it in a couple places. i was all ready to buy a new trd lip when my friend suggested why not try fixing it first our selves. it ending up working out ok. we did it with color matched spray paint and plastic expoxy from the auto store. only thing we used that isnt readily available was a paint booth of a friend of ours. you can only see one of the cracks in the pic, around the corner closer to the wheel there as a bout a 7 inch vertical crack. i have 0 previous body work experience, so i suggest anyone give this a shot before shelling out some cash. i think i spent under 80 dollars all said and done.

they are all japanese products, so shogunai. the brand is holts, wich is a uk company i believe. for the base color and pearl flake, then clear coat is a bunch of kanji. lol.its a two part polyurethane my buddy turned me on to. its bad ass.

I really didn't expect that result when I saw "we did it with color matched spray paint"
Turned out really nice, very impressive!
