Body Repair Help

[19988pasha]

I have a Nissan Pathfinder '03 the front bumper has holes and dents from trucks. What should I do to repair holes about the diameter of an inch and the dents.

Piece of sheet metal, cut it to size. Grind off nearby paint. Weld it on. Grind the welds flush with the panel, prime, the paint if its painted.

Unless its plastic. Dents you can pop out with a hammer. If plastic, repeat metal but melt it on.

I think its plastic but how the hell do you melt it on i thought you were supposed to put filler then sand it off.

You can do that too. I used a torch that had a light heat setting.

Yes but it does not seem like a reliable source

You've never heard of JCWhitney?

I guess you should go do it the hard way then. Get out your heat gun and spare plastic and melt your trashed bumper into a new one.

JCWhitney is pretty big in the truck accessories world. If I ever had more money I'd order stuff! I've got a few buddies that have ordered multiple things from them and never had any kind of problems
