Bumper refresh - hole filling and painting

[cedrichn]

Hi all,

I am going to fix my plastic bumper that has few small holes (it is a Mazda MX5 NC with too many holes for number plates - https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=565793... and looking for some advises...

- For the filler, do you recommend any specific product?
- For the paint, I think I will just use "can spray" as it will be hidden behind the plate anyway... Again, any specific brand? I found WLW, APS, UPOL, Monofil and Motip on internet...
- Should I put primer first? It is "Sunlight Silver", which is...silver

Thanks!

you would need to spot prime the repair area with high build primer , mist of plastic primer if you expose areas of bare plastic

Thanks a lot for that Steveo!

Any recommendation on the spray paint suppliers...? More or less all the same quality ?

Thanks!

i havent tried enough to be able say one is better than another

if you can a local place may be able to scan it and match it up better , for clear i would use the 2k clear coat cans
