nice job on the vid nex !!!!!1
nice work nex. :clappy
Nice work on the video! Looking good! One quick tip trying wearing rubber gloves when you are cleaning the bumper that way if you touch the bumper by mistake wont cause any issues down the road. Sometimes the oil in your skin will cause problems sometimes not, depends on the person. Otherwise looks like you are getting good at bumper repairs! Nice easy money 🙂
Also I didnt notice if you put sealer on your cut through or not.. Might shrink down the road if not..

Good deal Nex, you are the man!!!
looks titties (good) is that a make shift paint booth, can i get the materials list if so?
Great job Nex :cheers
you do good job, but in the real world you would not make money if you spend 10hr to fix that bumper, you can finish that easily in 2 hr, plus epoxy was not necessary you could just have straight the plastic real good and fill it with light body filler, prep and paint bumper on car.
luv your video nex you do nice work :pcorn:
Wow you really made a project out of it…The whole repair could have taken less than half the time…
Could have, if you planned on doing it the wrong way.. He did just fine on the repair.. He is here to learn how to do things the right way, not cut corners to push the repair out the door faster..Thats whats wrong w/ 75% of the shops/tech in this country..
Thanks Joe,
I am just trying to do things the right away and I am learning. I been getting away from using incorrect fillers on plastic and trying my best to learn what materials work best. I am not too worried about knocking out bumpers as I do one every 3 weeks. This is just a hobby, so if I don’t have time to do it right the first time, I better have time to redo it. Had I made this video and left out some of those steps, I probably would had been knocked for not doing this or doing that 😛

Nice work Nexson.
What type of fillers are you using? I’ve been having a tough time with Evercoat Polyflex Polyester Putty gumming up on me.
Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of reattaching the bumper throughout the process?
