Front bumper help from PROs
Anyone here who works in a body shop have any idea if this is fixable or if I'm gonna have to buy a new bumper? Some idiot pulled a hit and run on my Camaro in the parking lot on base awhile back and I want to fix it soon. Mostly paint damage but you can see one spot it looks to have dug in to the bumper on the edge just enough to possibly ruin it. Not a great photo but that lowest gash is the one I'm afraid won't be able to be fixed.

Most reputable body shops won't take the time to bondo the whole thing, sand and repaint, if you go through your insurance they will get you a new bumper and paint it.
If you can find a shop that are ready to blend the color and simply repair it, it can be done with no problem. My girlfriend had a pretty bad scratch and they fixed it with no issue.

You have to be from Nellis! I was stationed at Hill for a bit. Always fun at red flag. Hope you get your car taken care of, good luck.

Try to find a mint one off a wrecked Camaro. Or, do the ZL1 front bumper upgrade on the 'bay. They come prepainted for extra cost.
If you take it to a lazy body shop, and most of them are, they will want to blend into the fenders and hood. I wouldn't do that. |
