PM me if you need more help or I can post it here. I'll be doing a friends car next weekend or two weekends from now. A lot of deep scraps to the side and a deep cut on the front bumper.

Oh, BTW I use 1000-1500 grit sand paper depending on the location and material sanding.

Just be sure to use the epoxy type repair. The body filler won't work well on adhering to plastic and wont flex well unless on a very rigid area.

thanks guys, you all have been a big help.

1000-1500 grit is good if your buffing afterword, but for any sort of primer and more so bondo work you need heavier sandpaper to give it something good to bit into. I would go no more than 320 for the area in which you are applying the bondo, then at least a 320 finish before spraying the primer, and then 400(wet)-600(dry) on the primer before any base coat.

Using the spray cans is a cheap method but dont expect a super good match or for that spot to hold up as long as the rest of the bumper. But it will do you well for a while.
