    Jason I know u r not to kin of me cause I like Devilbiss, but I need ur help. I need to repair a bumper for CTS but don’t know the right product I know that bondo is out of question. It has a crack about 8″ long right at the bottom bend. What should I use and I promise I’ll forget what u said 😉

    LOL. You need plastic panel bonding adhesive if you are going to repair it. Norton and 3m make good products.
    I personally dont do many bumper repairs, i like to replace with a good quality Aftermarket or used OEM to keep the cost down.

    Smooth is right replacement is much faster and easier.I would use some fusor 142 and some mesh screen to reinforce the backside and some upol bumper putty on the outside(forget the name).Keep in mind you have to bevel the edges of the crack and sand the backside and apply adhesion promoter.Its easier for you to go and watch some fusor repair vids on youtube for the proper way,its all about prep so the repair will stick.
    AS far as your gun its nothing personal I just don’t like it 😉 It has nothing to do with you 😛

    This vid is old but the basic technique is still there,even though I have tweaked a few things.
