Bumper Repairs

#1
Hi All,

I had quotes of £350-600 to fix my bumper, couple of dents/spiderwebs I caused when I reversed into lamp posts while reversing, rest is caused by others. So I decided to go diy, it started well, sanded down the deep scratches and cracks and filled putty etc. By the time I finished it was quite a few patches so I ended up scuffing the whole bumper, prime it and basecoat. I hadnt taken into consideration the extra paint I will need, so I just managed to cover the bumper with the one can of 400ml. Me being impatent, went ahead and did the clear coat as well, I only had one can of 500ml, managed to get one coat.

Very ill prepared I was, the result now is a matt looking finish, otherwise would have had goot results.

My question is, can I now apply further coats of the clearcoat by scuffing/sanding to get the wet coat on, its been a few days since I did the first coat

Or do I need to sand it all down and start all over? Which I'd like to avoid.

Thanks.

Using car putty on a bumper to repair a crack is a waste of time because the bumper cover is flexible and this putty will crack in no time. Proper repair involves a plastic fusion technique that will permanently seal the crack.You need a body shop for this. Since bumper covers are not expensive, why not replace it and paint it the color of your car.
