ah ok cheers mate, just went and bought some of that loctite body filler which I'm pretty sure will be alright for plastic bumpers but what grade paper should i use to sand it down, any ideas ??

could u just put filler in the side grills on a 16v bumper? then sand over it then paint?

once the filler is applied and just over the surface level

start with a p80grit disc to get the shape

now use a p320 to get it almost flush

then a p120 disc

now apply a stopper

and finally a p500 disc

prime then wet flatten

check for imperfections and correct

then paint ( i would now wipe over with a tak rag ) and lacquer

wet flat again and machine polish then glaze

and finality polish and wax

all done any prob's just PM me :thumbsup:

stopper? wet flatten?

stopper? wet flatten?

stopper is a very fine filler that will smooth out any air holes and light scratches that may be left in the filler after sanding i use a 3m red putty

and wet flatten is just wet and dry sanding :-D
