czecho Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hello all, last night my girlfriend backed up into my 300zx. my front bumper was not painted yet ( thank god ), so its flat black and its got slight scratches on the surface and a decent deep cut ( MAYBE 1/8 deep ) and i was wondering what i can do to eliminate these marks because i went to the bodyshop and they said 500 with paint, and i was like F that... so please help me... i just want to not see them i was fine with my bumper not being painted. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffer949 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 lol slide hammer on a plastic bumper?? lol Best bet is to go to your local body shop and ask what they sugest for filling in the gouges. and then just repaint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

czecho Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 I took out all the surface scratches in 5 mins with a dish scrubbing green thing ( the more rough side ) and then used 600 grit sand paper to smooth it out and the 2 deep slashes are not all that bad.... but the one on the driver side is almost 4 inches long, lol... the other one is 1/2 inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Oh. ok I thought its was metal . if the general shape isn't affected, then sand it with 320 grit. Mix some bondo with some resin and then mix some hardener. slap it on there as flush as possible. Then wipe it with some asotone. Sand with 600 grit and then 800. paint and should be good.
