oh god don`t use that one plastic!!! that @!#$ will ruin the bumper, no need to completely strip the bumper down,
use, 120 then 180 then 240, that plastic should be tpo or tpe the plastic like to fuzz up fast hence the 240 to remove the rough plastic from the 120 and 180
then use a flexable primer, and if ur buddy is a painter he will know what to do then


can i haz bondo

not a painter just someone who knows somewhat what to do with knowledge that i hope to learn from this
