fixing my greddy bumper.. plus fish can live in it.

well i started to repair my bumper.. I know i should've sanded all the paint but I totally forgot once i finished layering the fiberglass. If it breaks, I'll just sand it all and redo it. not too hard to do.



When I took off the greddy bumper. it holds a great amount of water after you drive in the rain or wash your car. There's so much water, I bet a few frogs, fish, and crabs can live in it.. So those with the greddy bumper.. I would recommend drilling some holes on the bottom to drain all of the water from the crappy bumper. Nobody can see it anyways. The water adds a bit of weight to the bumper.

Dood you have to sand all that paint off around the crack. You'll find out why once you prime and paint.

nice job david...the best way to learn is to do it yourself and learn from your mistakes..

did you buy the resin and fiberglass mat from home depot? do you think a respirator is required or is working in a well ventilated environment good enough?

Very true thats how I started. The matt at homedepot and auto parts stures are fine. You should work is a well ventilated area.
