WTF? :???:
Sorry bro. Yes, as someone commented... there is a special (flexible) bumper filler (like bondo) it dries blackish/grey. You can sand it, prime it and paint it pretty easily.

I did this to my rear bumper about two years ago after getting sick of looking at the countless scrapes and holes (from liscense plates).
Someone at Autopia told me I could never do it using spray cans.
Yes, spray cans. :weirdo: A can of black magic and a can of clear coat and a can of black primer, bumper filler, sand paper, different buffing compounds and lots of patience, and more sanding and people flip out when I show them. I screwed up the first time, went to Autopia where a moderator told me I Fu**ed up and should take it to get professionally painted. That was all the inspiration I needed. :crazy:

It looks great now... uhm minus that damn new scrape! :lol:
