@@dsilva2012 Absolutely and most people would also, no argument there. But I approached this video with the attitude of a guy who's looking to learn the necessary skills to repair damaged vehicles (possibly with salvaged/rebuildable titles) and resell them. So this was great although I think the video where they use stainless steel mesh pressed into the bumper from the backside would be something I'd try...not that I'm completely unfamiliar with the fiberglass method as I've worked in two different fiberglass factories.

That's because the cost of a new bumper skin is cheaper than the labor costs of this this repair (which wasn't a proper repair). This is a 47 minute video, I bet you the actual repair time was 5 times as long. Most shops charge around $125/hr labor. Plus there is prep and paint. A new bumper, you have to R&R the trim, then paint it. The over all cost to buy a new skin is cheaper than it is to repair this kind of damage. Plus, this wasn't a proper repair, plastic bumper skins are flexible, fiberglass is rigid. The second this bumper takes a small hit, the full damage will be exposed. If they wanted to repair it, they should have used a nitrogen welder and the proper sticks. Then the bumper would have maintained it's flexibility. This was a hack job.

i am a licensed bodyman in canada. only use isopropyl alcohol to clean plastic. other chemicals absorb into it and release the filler. adhesion promoter must be used on black plastics or else filler wont stick properly. never put body fill of any kind on sanded or unsanded paint, it doesnt stick correctly. use semi rigid plastic repair epoxy on plastic panels, not body fill.

@@camilleproulx5070 i really dont recommend it. in my apprentice years on my own stuff i had many failed plastic repairs. i used whatever i had around the house, like laquer thinner, dupligarbage degreaser then adhesion promoter and it never worked. trade school said specifically use plastic cleaner, which is isopropyl alcohol and ive never had a failed repair. sometimes u can get lucky with the wrong product but always have success with the correct ones. in many shops we have to water down our prep solvent and ive had a few failures with watered down degreaser.

@drsnooz8112 2 года назад

That's a super great method of repair. I drove over the grill for my work truck probably 10 years ago. Well, I didn't drive completely over it, but I busted it up pretty good. Multiple pieces, reflectors, lights, etc. It was a mess. Anyway, it was a work truck, and I was super broke, so I put it back together with a few tubes of cheap JB Weld from the auto parts store. I held it together with blue tape until it dried. I didn't use any kind of mesh reinforcement, plastic welding, Bondo Glass or anything. It has held together 10 years now without any signs of weakness. Your method are your chemicals are way better than mine, so I would have complete confidence in that repair. In fact, I'd bet it's stronger than before. My only recommendation is to put that bumper on a table so you aren't crouching down all day to fix it. It makes my arthritis hurt just watching. Yikes!

@TheChriswroe 3 года назад

This is great work. If you do this on a plastic bumper you should use 3m Panel Bond instead of fiberglass. Plastic and fiberglass expand/contract at different rates and will eventually separate and may cause cracking. Panel Bond is strong as a weld and is how many body panels are attached in newer cars.

@antoniosoto801 2 года назад

Thanks for the clarification. I performed a repair similar to this in an 2006 tundra front bumper. the plastic disbonded from the FG after about a year. The difference in expand/contract between the two materials would explain it. (Assuming it wasn’t an incorrect surface prep since I took the time to sand/clean thoroughly b4 applying the FG)

@donmoore7785 4 месяца назад

Before the zip ties were installed, he had a pile of distorted parts. You may have forgotten this detail. Remember how he used the torch where needed to straighten thing out - and make them mostly flush? Tying everything together and straightening has to happen before sanding/grinding.

Depends on the labor, Buying a new one depending on the material and shipper would mean it would also still have to be wet sanded and primed before paint and there's also the time it takes to get one in, if you can find an oem store near you that provides factory bumpers same deal, they would cost (like new) but would be unsanded/ primed and still painted. Really the changing factor here is time.

By labor, I mean days and amout of work overall, repairing small cracks in a bumber is less cost effective than a larger size contrary to popular belief. Really depends.

One could always check out the local scrap yard and possibly find the exact bumper with the same paint code.

$40 for new bumper

On a new car it can be crazy expensive though, like $100 for a used one. This is pretty minor effort compared to a lot of general body work too tbh

i have repaired my bumper using this and plastic welding method as i had to add plastic, guys your video is good but i thought the fiber glass was excessive, the tie wrap is a great idea, i first tie wrapped it then i stainless meshed inbetween 1 of the gap by melting the mesh into plastic, i then seam welded the rest of the plastic to hold it in place, then i cut the tie wraps off completley and welded more stainess mesh across the whole repair line and fiber glassed over that, it is a neater job and the fiber resin goes onto the drilled holes, i wish i could post photo's

nice job! I think I would just buy new plastic. but if the plastic is not available, this technique is great!

Does the amount of labor and materials make it more cost effective then replacement ?

Thats why many people go to spanish shops. everybody else would throw that away including me. also remember the new one needs painting too and thats why they are expensive.
