Hi couple questions as im new to this and need to do similar to plastic bumper.. Was it a plastic primer ? Did u use a base coat and clear over or what did u use in gun ?
That's a Savage tip with the clips from the cardboard box. I'll remember that. All the best from Athlone.

I was looking bumper repair videos for myself so i can save money from buying parts and always con-artist ripoff auto shops and find your video the most helpful, love it and very easy to follow tips. thank you so much
your videos gave us the confidence to buy a salvage car for only 40% of the retail price. My son and I are doing the work. I used the 2 part clear epoxy to fix a cracked headlight then followed your video for restoring headlights- $10 fix for a part costing $600 new. Tomorrow we start on the cracked front bumper cover. We would never think about doing this kind of work before your videos. PS- the repair estimate for the damage was more than $3000- we think we can fix everything for less than $100.
Hey that's sounds awesome and you are getting to do the work yourself! Thanks for the nice comment!
Look why not plastic weld it and done? ╮(─▽─)╭
I think he was trying to make it stronger.
so i has started to repair 2 vauxhall vxr bumpers that i bought for 100€ each from the uk. these one's cost new nearly 700€ each... without the paint job it is done for 25€ with following this video's :D
@@DHarris240sx - Becoz it's not really a DIY job. PLASTIC WELD by a Pro. is Quite Expensive - more than the Total Cost of the Repair by the M4M Ladz - if U use ColorMatch rattle cans. Most DIY folks Don't have a Compressor lying round ! 🤔 Thinks: an old vacuum cleaner and some Duct tape and a few pipes with gradually smaller diameters.....then U could....... 😉
Thank you so much for taking time to make and post this video!! I LOVE that you use supplies from things we already have, or can easily find. Thank you!!
Cracking video!! I watched the others video as well and gave me so much confidence to do the repair myself with spray can. Gone ahead and did. bish, bash, bosh. Saved £500 and now I have a full kit for more repairs. Thank you!!
Nice video - short, no unnecessary talking (really appreciate that) and good info. THANKS.
Your work is so clear, simple but most of all, gives me so much confidence to this on my own.
Beautiful work. Great job explaining steps and logic behind the process. Thank you!!
Thank you for the amazing simple yet working DIY fix!
This is the simple approach I've been looking for. Brilliant idea using the packing staples!
Great video, also checked out your spray can repair one and you’ve filled me with hope! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks a million for sharing your work. Its easy, simple & cost effective. Cheers!..
Man I've watched 3 of your videos and am more impressed with your work and skills than any other channel. I subbed hands down and range that notification bell!!
all your vids I have watched are absolutely amazing especially the curb rash one . Thank you so much for all your videos and please do lots more.
Terrific repair, - heating the carton staples to melt into the plastic is genius. Plastic window screen mesh in place of bandage gauze also works well.
Nice!! Them headlights just need to be cleared now 👍
You make it look to easy. Might have to give it a try. Thanks for the informative video 🙏
Great work, an awesome result, there is no evidence of the damage at all, well done !! x.
Very informative videos and thanks to what you do keep up the good work mate

Thankyou for all of your advice! I have an Escalade ,used but l Love it!!Already done some detailing..l have the small scratches, that will grow big..The plastic bumper, on going at soon..(l have little holes in my side mirrors...l know l have to use bondo..but l want to treat them gentle!!Thankyou again for advice!!!
Mate that was one of the best vids I’ve seen cheers
Great video brother! It's really incredible what you can do with epoxies elbow grease! It came out looking amazing! We just did a how to on a fiberglass bumper with similar techniques. Thanks for sharing your experience and keep em coming!
Excellent home repair. Thanks!!

Great Job I’m going to fix Volkswagen Golf rear bumper thanks for tips and video
Nice work man 👍
Great job explaining well.
Just found your channel. OMG your great. I have subscribed. Wu Hu. Taking the scary out of body repairs.
Those metal clips are a great idea, no more drilling holes and zip tying!!!
Jesus! Zip ties are the worst method ever. Unless the intention is to make the repaired part look like Boris Karloff's, Frankenstein! LOL 😂 Use basic soldering iron, anything from 30W to 100W, with a flat tip, will do just fine and it's dirty cheap. If you want to go fancy there's flat and broad plastic solder tips. Which make it even easier! Using the video case as an example, no welding "material" is needed. Just the soldering iron and 5 minutes of your time. To make life easier, some aluminum tape on the front will keep it nice and tight while soldering on the back. If done carefully most probably the front would be good enough to be left "as it is" in most cheap car repairs, almost unnoticeable after soldering. Zip ties could be used as solder material or even to bridge larger gaps also soldered, but that's it. ;-)
thank you, very informative vid.
This is more enjoyable then those 4-10 episode of restoration videos out there
Great idea with melting staples into the bumper !!
Great work mate🧰🧰
great job man
I'm highly impressed!
You are a genius!! Man
Thank you sir for sharing very useful knowledge. The best..👍👍
Beautiful work
Great job , also some fantastic tips ,
Great tip mate.i will be in the card board skip tomorrow lol
Top man. Thank you.
Very well done man
U have great videos!! 👍👌👏
Thanks. You just helped me out alot
Super awesome job!
Beautiful work. Heat gun works on pins too
Great video you in effect did a crude method of plastic welding without a plastic welding kit. Anyway my major thing is how you get the same color code match of your vehicle in aerosol/spray can form. I imagine you have to have the spray gun equipment / compressor to do this. As stores probably match paint only in can form... Be nice to know it can be bought your exact color code in spray can form for small work such as this fix.. Obviously for completely painting a car you want to uses your spray equipment with it in can form to be easier. (though doable either way i was more curious on getting match paint spray cans.)
Top job man
That's... incredible.
Great job 👍👏
Great tip to use those staples mate
agree! great idea
Amazing job !
Really useful! Thanks!
nice job. did you spray the whole bumper or just where the damage was? how many coat of base and clear is good to put down for pro results
I noticed at 6:10 there's still a tiny crack at the top where it first started from, after using bumper filler my bumper still has that tiny portion where I didn't use any. What do you think about leaving that crack still unfilled ?
Love this idea
Absolute Madlad
so far the most economical fix i have ever seen
you sir are a genie
Fantastic job 👍
Great job on your video, a plus-plus thumbs up on using some type of metal to reinforce the "crack" I which I could find a perfact match for my paint and use a rattle can. Rather that load my gun up with $$$$ paint for a 3-4" crack Great job
Awesome work
Good job 👏
Looks awesome I need mine doing
Great tips thank you
Awesome job
Great vid would a bumper repair kit be just as cheap about £12 uk from the paint supplier I use that to the public great vid. Do you ever suffer from sinkback on the Aerosol primer over the filler.
Damn nice work
...that was amazing...
that looks bloody mint. from what it was.
Brilliant!
Wow your talented!!!
Good job bro
Brilliant 👍
I like your guide, simple yet effective. Just don't mix epoxy or bondo on cardboard, or at least use parchment paper. It will save some material. Porese material like cardboard will soak some portion of epoxy or bondo. It doesn't matter once or twice, but on the long run you can save some money. Keep up the good job ;)
Crackin job Mate 👍👍👍 (Pun intended)
Great job.
Well oil beefed hooked!! Great video. Liked and subscribed.
Aye, I could do with a bit of FIG JAM too. Feck I'm good, just ask Mick! 😉
Good job paintman
What size of sand paper you use .and what kind of primer. Bro.good job
2 cents on the way! ;-) When you pulled out the soldering iron I was convinced you were going to do what's reasonable and logical... Solder the broken edge back into shape! Damn I was surprised you didn't! It's so much easier and way more efficient. After being solidly conformed to it's shape then you can add whatever reinforcing layers and methods. But that would be done over a repaired surface. BTW for a crack that size it would take about 5 minutes, top! ;-) One more tip. For a case like this. Use aluminum tape, on the front side, to hold it together while you repair it from the back side. Cheers
Well done excellent 👍
PERFECT !!!
Súper bien 👍
Wow amazing. I have a dodge journey with 2 small cracks and it has come loose off the clips. So I'm being charged almost $2000😭thanks for your video will definately help me.
Hmmm, this might help with my 166 front bumper cover. Rare car, so hard to find/costly to get another bumper.
wow fair play well done and good to have an irish voice for a change lol.
