Hi all,

I have an 80s hatch I’m restoring and the front bumpers are gold dust. I have a couple of scuffed examples, one slightly warped and the other with a couple of cracks. Has anyone had any experience with getting black (ABS I assume) bumpers repaired and could recommend anywhere who can do it?

Thanks

Shame he used the wrong shade of colour.
Principles are the same though,sand it,fill it,sand it,prime it,texture it,top coat it.
You can buy ready textured paint to go through a gun or aerosols like the guy in the video.
Just be aware you'll not exactly replicate the original, you're painting the texture on whilst the original had the texture in the plastic
