How To Repair a HOLE in a Plastic Bumper Cover!

[@SweetProjectCars]

Hello my Awesome Sweet Project Car Friends. Here we have just a good fun video on a few very easy methods to repair busted plastic or many other items, without a big expense and wasting a lot of time. We hope you enjoy it and pick up a tip or two that you can use on a totally different project.

[@Spooner749]

Sweet Project Cars , great educational video. Do you have a video showing you completing this project so everything is repaired and painted. Would be very interesting.

[@pambisugar8286]

I laugh at every joke. Oh my gosh!!!

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

Knowing this is a MUST if you own or work on so many vehicles nowdays are so much plastic. Exellente, Senoir!

[@SweetProjectCars]

Hubba thank you very much my friend :) we truly appreciate your great comments :)

[@Leonardokite]

I've got a golf ball size gash in my plastic spare tire cover. As soon as the weather breaks I'm going to give this a try. Save a few Franklins! It's certainly worth a try.

[@SweetProjectCars]

it will work like a charm my friend :)

[@Leonardokite]

AND by then I'll have the other half of the equation....finishing the visible side! Love your channel. Your videos come across as "heh, I'm your friend who's a car nut and here's how I can help" Very personable. Your definitely a favorite (top 10 out of 160 subbed.)

[@scottshoyat3080]

Hello, what kind of epoxy resin and fiberglass was used? Thank you.

[@SweetProjectCars]

These: Bondo Hair amzn.to/2DJPwhE & Fiber Glass Resin Kit amzn.to/2Dn5Ubb and just a reminder, all of the products/tools we use in our videos can always be found in the ...MORE of the videos description, see here 3c5.com/4u6dj if you can't find it let us know and we will help you. Thanks for watching. mad Mike

[@solidwire]

Very nice explanation & video... But... Looked like you skipped over a bit of prep in the beginning. (I'm probably mistaken) In the beginning... Prior to video It looks like you used a tool to taper the material around the hole allowing for the strongest & cleanest possible finish... ?

[@SweetProjectCars]

Hello Don, what you see is exactly where we started, but it's always good to hit it with some 1,500 grit sand paper before the process shown. Thanks for watching, have a great weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@boostedart88]

Very helpful video ,thank you !

[@ZILNEN]

You could use a plastic welder with some steel mesh to make it stronger

[@SweetProjectCars]

Chris we have tried both over the years and not much can make this any stronger, but plastic welding is another video for the more advanced DIYer coming soon thank you very much my friend :) we truly appreciate your great comments :)

[@360pack]

Bravo Sweet Project - have a car with this very problem that i will do this on - definitely like the silicon tip

[@SweetProjectCars]

360 thank you very much my friend :) we truly appreciate your great comments :)

[@R0yL33]

So the fiberglass sticks to the plastic bumper better than the bondo hair, and the rough texture of the fiberglass gives the bondo something to grab onto. For smaller holes, could you just scuff the bumper with 40 or 80 grit and apply bondo hair directly, skipping the fiberglass step?

[@SweetProjectCars]

roy thank you for sharing

[@heidis8713]

@@SweetProjectCars uh... that was a question.

[@TheRawJoker]

@@heidis8713and dudes name is rusty 😂

[@MommaBearsCorner]

my issue is i can not get to the back of it. I have a two holes on each side of a low to ground van. The day i got it I went through a car wash (was used and dusty) and did not know better. It punched a whole on each low bumper side front doors. Trying to figure out how to fix it. I can NOT get under the car to the back side. trying to see if any hacks to fix it.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Yeah man, you are going to have to get creative on that fix. Wish I could help you. Thank you for watching and sharing, have a fantastic day and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike

[@mattj7971]

Hi there, great video and instructions. I’m wondering when to use the poly-flex as I see you have it listed under the items you used for this fix.

[@GK0321]

My educated guess is he applied it directly over the front side to fill in the gap between the bondo hair and the front side of the bumper; I was wondering the same thing, myself.

[@mrmikebo6756]

Me toooo

[@adamv9892]

I have about a baseball sized hole on my bumper cover on my 2005 Honda Accord and cracking around it as well, if I were to take it to a shop around how much would it cost? I know you can’t give me an exact answer because every shop but is different but what’s your guess? Would the whole cover have to be replaced?

[@sacredvisuals1]

Does this work on tpo plastic bumpers ?

[@SweetProjectCars]

This works on anything that is plastic, even thermoplastic polyolefin materials. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week. mad Mike

[@maxmayhem9778]

Great information. Can I modify this approach for a fist sized hole in a fiberglass automotive body panel? The fiberglass is at least 1/16" thick, maybe as much as 1/8 inch.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Max Mayhem you sure can my friend ty mike

[@rcandy9815]

Hi Sweet Project Cars....great video's as always love the channel...a question ?...what is the best thing to use to get rust off steel wheels im from the UK btw....your videos are amazing I did my headlights and they look brand new....keep up the great work :-)

[@SweetProjectCars]

RC Andy if the rust is not too bad we use this amzn.to/2zXm1Y4 if it is heavy rust we use the tools you will find in the show more of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3XSeqOur7-Bp9E hope this helps you my friend :)

[@Acougar17]

very similar to repairing a surfboard same process and materials essentially. check out some surfboard repair videos and you can get more ideas of how this method works.

[@doug3805]

going to try it on the rear bumper of my Miata that has a split about four inches long

[@SweetProjectCars]

it will work great for you :)

[@hasbeengood]

Man... you are just too much! Do you think of all these "alternate" ways of doing things yourself? If so, you have all my admiration. I love to tinker and I love creative challenges. You seem to have written the book. Thanks for sharing.

[@SweetProjectCars]

hasbeengood thank you very much my friend :) we truly appreciate your great comments :)

[@kyanite1434]

Yep a hole that can fit two of my fingers into showed up randomly on my bumper, I’ll see if this helps.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Thanks for watching and sharing, you will love the results my friend. Have a great day and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@jonathanweston1670]

Am I missing the polyflex video? would like to do this to my car. thanks for all the videos SPC!

[@SweetProjectCars]

No you’re not we have not done it yet we are working to get there we have so many videos to do hang in there my friend

[@jonathanweston1670]

Thank you, looking forward to it! will start gathering materials in the meantime.

[@abuubaydullah1]

Hi there Sweet Project Cars, this is just a thought, ever thought to put all these easy to do jobs showing how we old school Repair a car/van etc on a CD i think it would really go well,also it may help fund you're chanel, which i think is one of the best, showing other how to save £££.

[@SweetProjectCars]

great idea Mohammad i should look into that thanks so much

[@icanfartloud]

He doesn't seem like the kind of man that needs funding for his chanel....he seems more like a christian dior kinds guy....rrrrr

[@TheoneDragon51]

My uncle once used bondo and cardboard to patch a large hole in a tailgate on a El Camino. Then sold it at auction. Not saying it's right but it works, till the first good rain.

[@SweetProjectCars]

dragon with the new stuff they have today it is pretty much a permanent fix thank you very much my friend :) we truly appreciate your great comments :)

[@venomforhonor]

how long does it last

[@SweetProjectCars]

If you do it exactly the way we share, the car will rot off the frame before you will ever have to worry about the bumper cover again. Thanks for watching. Have a great day Venom. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@bigbob3409]

Wish I had a mechanic like you here in Florida. Great vids. What state are. You in ?

Bill we are in Michigan and I wish I was in the Fla area right now with the weather we are having here lol thank you very much my friend :) we truly appreciate your great comments :)

you are welcome billy ...and its funny all my kids live in Fla. so they are the smart ones lol

[@jeffcampbell6898]

Have you ever considered writing a book? I bet it will sell well.

[@SweetProjectCars]

Jose thank you for the great compliments we do appreciate it.

[@VictorCarrero-q5d]

How much do all the materials cost?

[@SweetProjectCars]

All of the products/tools we use in our videos can be found in the .....More of the video description. Thanks for watching, have a great day. mad Mike & team

[@handyman-ir9qu]

Instead of cardboard, could you use a piece of a "soda can" worked smooth, then made to conform to the shape of the bumper. This should make a backing that is wrinkle free and require less sanding.

[@SweetProjectCars]

thats a great idea, but why we use the cardboard is it leaves the surface a bit rough so the poly flex coating will adhere to it better. thank you for the great comments and tips :)

[@thecynicalafro160]

This should work deleting that ugly side marker on my 2011 cls 550

[@SweetProjectCars]

It sure will, it will work perfectly! This amzn.to/3G75cO1 will work to fill in any hole in a bumper cover my friend. Thanks for watching, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@beardhut2934]

Yeah that repair will survive a crash and if it don't bondo is cheap so you get to repair it twice.

[@SweetProjectCars]

you are correct thank you for your great comments we appreciate you helping the SPC channel!

[@thejasonkellett]

HEY, WHERE ARE THE "SWEET PROJECT CARS" T SHIRTS AT?!? I want one asap!!

[@SweetProjectCars]

tyler we are working on it my friend :)

[@cameronleland3129]

I know this video is from awhile ago but wouldn’t it work better to just lay a piece of fibreglass cloth on the back of the bumper then go to the front of the bumper and fill it with bondo to make it level

[@SweetProjectCars]

You can do whatever you want to do we are just sharing with you the most heavy duty, durable method especially if you are planning on keeping the vehicle. Thanks for watching Cameron, have a great weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

[@grassroot011]

Huh, never heard of Bondo hair, since I haven't done anything like this for about 20 years, out of the loop I guess,

[@SweetProjectCars]

grass it is amazing stuff for sure thank you very much my friend :) we truly appreciate your great comments :)

[@bobwest9267]

20 tears ago it was called tiger hair. Long strand fiberglass reinforced body filler. The short strand stuff is now called duraglas.

[@kgp4death]

yes more Lacquer Thinner....more, we need like gallons of Lacquer Thinner

[@SweetProjectCars]

When you’re a DIY are working on your car lacquer thinner is a very very important tool
