1995 850 Wagon

A guy just backed up up into my front bumper with a pickup truck and punched a 3" diameter hole thru the skin of the bumper and into the foam below.

I'd like to get a suitably thick & strong material to make a patch to glue over the hole. I presume its a urethane material, so I'll use that type of glue. If its "meltable" material I might even be able to use a vinyl seat hole repair kit to heat melt the patch flush.

The car is the pewter grey color, so I want a grey material.

 

I've never heard of anybody repairing their bumper like that...I'm not completely sure it's possible...

 

It's possible. Talk to a body shop and they can point you towards the right material. - AB

 

So hes not going to pay for the damage? Isnt it his faults?

 

I wondered about the same thing as Huzz.

Epoxy works on pretty much anything, but you have to follow the directions strictly and must avoid getting it on the wrong spots. I recently used a JB-Weld type of epoxy (though it was not JB Weld brand), and it was dark grey.

Patch, sand, polish and it should look fine. Turtle Wax used to sell colour-specific polishing compound and that was the best polish, but for some reason they took it off the shelf[8D].

Good luck,
