As long as my clutch is messed up and my car isnt going anywhere, i figured now is a good time to fix my bumper up. It had a bunch of chunks missing and deep scratches, and while i was at it, i got rid of the eagle symbol and the bumper looks brand new. It looks like the last owner floored it out of his steep driveway every day.
i cant find any good photos of the before with the chunks missing, but heres the afters

for the big chunks that were missing i used fiberglass, then finished off with bondo, and filled in all the scratches with bondo.

And thats just primer. i might order a quart of factory color paint and paint it, but itll be slightly off color because...its an 11 year old car....or i might just leave it and just paint the rest of the car primer, and just prep the whole car for a full paint job.
not sure.

I probably wont. as you can see by looking at all the chips, scratches, and the slight fade on my hood, my paint has seen better days. I think im just gonna fix the couple other small body issues it has, and leave it all primer black, until i can get around to the paint.

why? because your colorblind? Could that be why you have a blue mitsu avatar instead of a red one?

Good way to use your time man...bumper looks decent...what if you buff the rest of the car with a fine compound? Would that make a difference in bringing the color back?
