I posted these pictures on another thread, but I'm proud enough of my old self that I decided to make a new one, too.
I've never done any body work to speak of on cars. But I recently bought a used Saturn with (among other problems) a crack in the front bumper, and I decided to try my hand at fixing it. (Actually, I'm pretty sure it happened since I bought the car. I think someone hit it with a cart in a parking lot. I doubt I'd miss something like that when I was inspecting a used car, and the crack looked fresh to me.)
The Saturn bumpers are made of plastic, so after a few hours of scratching my beard deciding how to fix it, I decided to use marine epoxy. It sticks to pretty much anything, has a high tensile strength, is waterproof, sands well, and only costs $6.49 at the local hardware store (or about $25.00 at a marine supply store).
Crappy before and after cell phone pictures are attached.
