  • urethane bumper repair kit

    I recieved my 02 Camaro bumper. the seller forgot to mention that there is a nice rip on the driver side. About 6-8 inchs long and a small hole pencil lead (#2) size...

    So does anyone know how to repair something like this? I know I can use finishing putty for finished body work, but how do I get the tear and hole repaired?
    Any ideas?

    Bondo has a urethane repair product out. I forgot what it's called but it's a two part type thing in tubes. I used it on my rear bumper to repair a hole from my accident. (large hole, about a silver dollar size) Not the absolute easiest stuff to work with, but it's flexible and durable.

        fiberglass wouldn't work too well on a urethane bumper.

            fiberglass would work great on fiberglass and metal, but the bumper, too much flex and not a good substraight to bond too.. i'll have to find something and work with it. found one thing but its like $40 for the tube and another $50 for the tool to use the tube. lol

              I think you're going to find that the urethane is very very difficult to repair when torn.
