depending on how severe the damage is on the bumper then might be able to tell you what products can be used. ---

Fusor is 2nd to none… we have a full cabinet here and it never gives us any problems. When I was young, I remember ripping my rear fender on my YZ80… it was a pretty big tear. My dad fusored it and it held for over a year… and that was with wrecking on it I couldnt tell you how many times after it was fixed. Eventually it broke, but it was a really bad tear. It depends on how bad the scrathches are… if they are fairly fine you can get away with icing instead of a thicker filler. Post some pics. ---

THe deepest of the scratches are about 1/8th inch deep. the rest are finer. ---

You could do that either way… you could use a skim coat of filler or flex filler, then do a skim coat of icing. Pics would deinatly help… ---

Here are a few pics. I was wrong the deepest of these is maybe 1/16th inch, but probably less. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/100_2725.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/100_2725.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/100_2727.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/100_2727.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/100_2728.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/100_2728.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/100_2729.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/100_2729.jpg) ---

1 More question, if I spray this with a base/clear, is there any flex addative thats needs to go into the paint? The last paint I shot was single stage enamel, and i remember adding flex addative, and hardener to the paint before spraying. ---

i’m pretty sure in dual stage paint, the flex agent is already added to color, but you’ll have to add to the clear. ---

Flex does NOT come in base / clear coat paints. It MUST be added. If not you will definatly be re-doing it in a few weeks. ---

OK, so i have decided to repaint the full bumper cover is their some special way of stripping the old paint? Or just hit it with the DA, and watch the dust fly? [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/body-panel-repair/189758.md?page=2)
