Bumper scuff.jpg

So my mom scratched up the side of her car a while ago and she only told me about it now. The scratches are surface level and the several rust spots are about 1 inches by 5 inches big. I figure I'll do the repairs myself since the rust spots are pretty small and it's an old ass beater car.

I've never done this before though so I'm not too sure of the process involved, and I have no tools either. I'm thinking I need to get sandpaper first to sand off the rust first (what grit?) then prime over the bare metal? Is there a special primer I need for this or can I just get any primer that goes on metal? What paint do I need and will I need to apply some sort of top coat at the end? It's a shitty old car so I don't care if the colors don't match up exactly or whatever. I just want to fix up the scratches.

Before you go trying those YouTube tutorials practice on another surface first.

I fucked up my bumper by just following the tutorial.

Dude wtf you botched that

The original scrape looked superficial enough you could have polished out 95% of it.

The rest could have been touched up cheap and easily. Now you gotta replace the whole lower bumper

What tutorial did you follow?

At this point you should sand it down to bare plastic, prime and paint it with a color matching spray paint.
You can get it to where it looks acceptable
>>
>>1195439
How did it get all lumpy like that?
>>
>>1195454
Dude you're high - that could be polished EASY

It was a paste that came in the kit (I don't know what it's called exactly). You're supposed to fill the holes with it. I overdid it and it got fucked.
>>
>>1195468
What shape is it in now?
Still have the filler on it?
Chip and crack it all off and then post another pic so we can get it looking good again
>>
>>1195468
sand it down and try again. Buy some color matched aerosol paint, and it will at least look presentable.

I'm not even annoyed by this, it seems a clever and original way to bump your own thread.

I'm the op and it's not even me doing it. I'm guessing it's two random faggots jerking each other off with really? back and forth.

rust on a plastic bumper?
REALLY?

>>1195288
Bumpers on cars are plastic. Order a black primed one and throw it on mom's whip. If she asks why it looks different, tell her it's because she drives like shit and to enjoy her rice.

It looks like you could have removed that with a magic eraser dude. It looks like it was just paint transfer in the pic.

I can't stop laughing. Shit seriously.... it couldn't have gone more wrong. You could have just buffed that out. If it was actually scratched through the paint, you could of just lightly feather edged with sandpaper and 1 light coat of a "icing putty" and then sanded off the excess putty so make it all smooth and uniform. Hit it with some fresh paint and it would look fine.
