I love that you never cut out mistakes. One of my favorite youtubers to watch
Learned alot in 35 minutes. Amazing how you can salvage a cracked plastic bumper and make it look new. You guys are awesome for sharing your techniques!
Good video and I like how you keep reinforcing the use of safety items and working safe as well. Pretty good work.
You guys rock! Awesome repairs made easy for the DIY layman, in his own garage. You guys show how to do an awesome repair, without a Million dollars invested in equipment. Great job, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thanks guys you helped me to fix my own bumper and it came out almost perfect. Just had a body shop fix my mess with the paint.
Great to watch. Very informative. You have amazing patience to do this type of repair project.I wouldn't be able to sand so many times. This car looks amazing.
Superb video. Very many thanks! Your video has now given me a lot of confidence to fix a badly cracked bumper on my Suzuki Jimny. I was impressed that you knew to stop-drill the ends of the cracks - very important as it de-stresses the area. Stop-drilling works on cracked metal too. Many thanks!
Thank you, I now know how to fix the crack in my SL320 front bumper, brilliant job you did and i should save £400!
Excellent job. I am going to try and fix my rear bumper this way. Thankyou
Just want you to know I followed this video step by step and fixed bumper on mu suv. I’m waiting for clear coat to dry and then put it back together and put it on. Thank you sooo much. It looks great!! I am female 58! I’ve never attempted such a task. Ty ty ty ty
First time on this channel. Fell in love at how well executed and descriptive it was. Subscribed!
Drilling the end of the crack is something I wouldn't have thought of. I probably would have tried one sided duct tape and 1 sided fiberglass, then remove the duct tape and do the other side. I have worked with epoxy and have used a digital scale to measure out 2:1, 1:1, what ever by weight, which allows me to make small batches.
Great video brother! It's really incredible what you can do with resins and epoxies! It came out looking amazing! We just did a super similar video on a fiberglass bumper this week! Thanks for sharing your experience and keep em coming!
Wow amazing work. Each video I watch from you is giving me more and more confidence to do my own work for my car. Great stuff keep those tips coming :)
In America, like you said, we take for granted that we can go buy a new or even a used bumper. Good to see your determination to resolve your short comings. Keep up the ingenuity and great work.
Thank you from New Zealand! This is without doubt the best, most informative, most thorough video. Ihave ever seen for this kind of repair. I am most thankfull, your spoken narrative is perfect and you have just saved me a really big hassle . Thank you so very much!! I've hit subscribe.
Totally awesome guys... darn well amazing even!!! I RESPECT YOU MAN!!!
Excellent video thanks guys, great description on the step by step repair, very informative. I learnt a lot watching!
Excellent job. Congratulations!. I'm a retire person and I have a broken rear bumper in my 2004 Mitsubishi Montero that will love to have some person like you near that can repair my SUV. Nice job!
Great video, enjoyed watching you work your magic.
That's pretty amazing, very nice work guys!💪💪💪
Amazing! Almost lost me at first with the zip ties but so satisfying to watch and I want to try this.
Amazing job - Thank you! I don't see the link to the site where we can find the paint code and purchase the paint. Will you add it please?
Brilliant work! These guys are great, quality video
thanks for taking the time to share this. Did you buff the clear coat? if so what did you use?
👍👍👍You guys are great...thanks for your time doing this...you have convinced me I can repair my own bumper...a little more difficult for me is getting the bumper off. I must remove the front inner wheel wells to get to some clips holding the bumper...😎
Thank you, this is exactly what I'm looking for.
nice job. is there no need to use sem-flex additive on rubbery flexible parts anymore?
I love the way you explain Master.
I watched this video and am trying this method on a bumper. Managed to get to laying the export resin. Will do the rest tomorrow hopefully.
Great repair, super strong. Excellent video, easy to watch.
Great video! Excellent explanation and demonstration of the steps. Making it look easy. Thank you so much!!!
excellent video with clear explanations. You do very good work.
HOLY MOTHER OF DOG! That's fantastic work!!
I love your older videos, longer and more detailed.
Good guys you are thanjs for showing your job's secret to public, nice work hard work but nice end. Wish you good luck. Thx
Great work in trying conditions. What tack cloth were you using? It was not mentioned in the description. Do you have an in-line water and oil separator to keep that stuff out of the spray gun?
Beautiful professional job!
That's an effort and a half, true labour of love! You guys need to put in a better system for all your waste you wash off your paint jobs. It's going into your grass area where it'll pollute that environment and when it's dry you'll be breathing in the dust particles.
Nice video, love the detailed steps!
Very detailed information. Thank you.
Great work, guys.
You guys did a brilliant job!
Awesome job guys!
great job and thank you for your time
Great video! Thank tou for sharing. I subscribed after watching this. Thanks again!
Nicely done. Thank you.
Excellent Video very well explained 🙋♂️
Saw two of your paint videos, my turn! Best of luck!
Great work PLEASE i need help 2014 E350 need it placement for the headlight driver assembly...may i know where is your shop..many thanks.
Awesome video guys! Can you tell me what paint gun you use and what psi you set your compressor on. I basically have the same compressor and I thought I needed a bigger one so glad I don’t have to buy another compressor!
Your videos are get well made and are a pleasure to watch.
Really appreciate you guys 💪🔥
You were a big hit BROVO!
This is amazing work. What body filler do you use on that bumper so it doesnt crack when it flexes?
No WONDER it costs so much when getting this done, lol. So TIME inducing. Thanks for the effort in educating us all
Brilliant job congratulations .
My dude. This is such a great method!! And not to expensive for the shop!! But the second bumper you talked about, the rear side grills are black. And stand out! The long bottom one you should pop out and paint it a good quality gloss black!! It really does make a difference!! I work at a shop to. I fix eeverything that's needs fixing!!
Very good I learned something today...
You guys do amazing work! Keep the videos coming :)
Hi man What kind the air compressor you using and what gallon are you using?
You doing a great job....that’s awesome man ...thank you....👏👏👏👏👏👏
not going to lie, every time i start one of these videos I think... wow, this is going to be jenk. Then by the end.... MIND BLOWN! great work
Wow I work at a body shop if the guys had your attitude about work ... that was awesome ty
Awesome professional look
wow, really good Job, Guys!!
I have bumper with cracks like your video. I will wait toll it gets warmer and repair it like yours. Very good idea. Thaks for the method.
Amazing touch
awesome videos you guys are amazing i just found out you guys are in oklahoma city i stay in norman ill defiantly be coming by the shop for some work to be done or some tips thanks for what you do
I will definately try this, thumbs up subscribed!
some job very impressed very neat work
Shoe Goo works really well in place of the epoxy and fiberglass matt
Great job guys
The bumper came out looking great. I like your technique. I usually just use a soldering iron and melt the two pieces back together.
I just bought some flex tape and was going to do that and bondo it.. But now that ive watched this.. I still may do it but a bit less soldering iron probably. Thanks guys!
Fantastic repair!!
Nothing like a European style body shop in your garage . Good job boys
Great Job Man!
Great job. I wouldn't listen to the clowns that keep asking about buying a new bumper. They know nothing of the art of re-using the same item with the adding of talent and time. Your English was great and easy to understand. Pictures were very easy to understand. You have talent in auto body repair but i also appreciate your ability to photo and provide documentary. Very good job!!!
Hi I always watch your videos I have a 2007 Mazda CX-7 An I need to replace my two front headlights because they are really bad. Suggestions on where I can get them from on my fixed income? My inspection is due in Feb 2024
Hey guys love your chanel I had to subscribe lol. Question what grit do you guys use for the grinder? And long live Bulgaria!
Amazing and professional job. I have pumper and Hood needs to be fixed. How would I get in touch with you guys to do this job for me? Thanks, Jim.
Amazing job with great care ❤ 👏 👍 💙
Came out looking good. Not bad at all.
Absolutely Fabulous!!!!!
Super awesome video! Thanks!
great job guys
Great video and explanations!
This info is gold!
Great job!!
Excellent informative video, thanks!
Thank you
The job is great! How many 24 hours for this job?
My second time looking at you guys video I like what I see I was wondering if you guys can do a video on a Mercedes Benz 430, 1999 like what drains a new battery thank you
Good job, I could add something that works better for you’r glassing. When patching the bumper use a smaller glueing coat of epoxy around the splitting opening. This welds the crack and mesh fiber glass to the splitting bumper. Now use a larger cloth patch to cover over the smaller extending past enough for strength. Remember to use polyester resin with this larger cloth patch. The polyester resin has more flex to it. This will allow the repair to have more flex as the rest of the bumper has.
It is a very good job. But on the other hand, with so much work, would not it be cheaper to buy a new one?
great tips thanks!
My kind of guys. Subscribed
Thanks for the info!! Really appreciate it
Ever since I discovered the 2>> option I can now watch these videos 2x faster but still catch it all. I have to do this to my bumper
Aethelthyth Quezada please watch polyvance videos.....fiberglass is not the right way
