great vid.. just sub to you.. Darren..London..U.K..
How long did the paint job last?
Where you located
I need my bumper fixed
Grinder blade may break and cause fatal damage to people standing near. if it struck between that bumper.
Using a grinder for Grinding or cutting a plastic or carbon fiber material the friction will melt the material and tries to grab the grinder blade as a result the blade will split in parts and cause fatal injury.
it's so rare to see things get repaired these days. Well done!
Because it's usually more cost effective to replace the part. This was mostly done for fun or insurance job
You had me at the car stitches, LOL. I wasn't sure what the turnout would be like, but wow that's an amazing transformation! Awesome job.
This is one of the best fixing a cracked bumper videos I have seen, thank you.
That is some incredible craftsmanship. I didn't know bumper repairs could look that good. Most body shops I know would tell you to scrap the bumper if it had that big a hole in it but you guys did an amazing job
Its because they wont make any money repairing it with the time it takes so its easier for them to charge for a new one and replace it and charge the same or close too as repairing it
@@waldo-ot6ul
Such a wasteful society we live in.
Scrap because the labor alone would be twice the price of the replacement $300 would become $1200 for labor. They have been working this for at least 4 days between 3 men
Wow, just wow. I am thoroughly impressed with the final result. I was a little skeptical when you just started drilling holes in the bumper and applying the epoxy, but after seeing the final result, I am convinced. I have almost everything that you used in the video so I can start to do this myself.
I was really sceptical, by the time you broke out with the drill and zipties. But your finished product lives up to this video's title. Impressive work.
I so glad to see someone other than myself use Acetone with bare hands!! I applaud these guys!
You need to use the type of mesh tape with adhesive on one side to enable it to stick to the surface so that it doesn't move all around as the epoxy is being applied. Optimally you can use fiberglass cloth. Otherwise you can use spray glue on the tape. Then you can apply the epoxy with a stiff, disposable brush instead of a stick to work it into the contours. You also must mix the Bondo/hardener with wiping strokes and not by whipping or stirring because that introduces air bubbles into the Bondo mix. But overall an excellent job.
Would you put the mesh over or under the dry wall?
at the end I thought thats not the same bumper till you showed underneath. you did a fantastic job 😀
Thank you!

What an easy tutorial to follow. You Guys, ARG, are very talented in what you teach but even more talented in how you explain. Kudos to The Auto Repair guys who are also the Auto Explain guys.
Love watching a pro do their thing. Great video for the lay person. Extremely thorough and detailed instructions as well as tips and tricks that will certainly give me the confidence to tackle my second bumper repair. The first one was before UA-cam and turned out being a mess and a complete failure. Not to mention that I bought so much more of everything than I needed. I ultimately just took a hacksaw to the damn thing so that it wasn’t dragging on the road and called it a day. Thank you for taking the time to share this!
Love your videos guys...
You've taught me a bunch of skills and helped me out on three separate jobs I've done on my car already...
Thank you. Keep up the good work👍
VERY helpful, thank you!
Amazing, it's like magic. Great work!
pawar
Traders Friend hi
LOL LOL LOL . Obviously never seen a good repair then.
OK d
EXCELLENT video! Clear, concise instructions and no wasted steps! Thank you I now have confidence to start repairing my bumper cover.
you guys are artists! I've tried a similar thing at home after watching a few youtube videos and mine wasn't nearly as perfect. It takes a lot of patience
I just love how you talk, amazing!
Hi Guys, I am just blown away. I can not believe you just fix that like new. You are a Genius. Words can not describe on how great it looks. Awesome job, I just Subscribed - because, I want to see what other tricks you got to show. LOL..... Thank you my friend. Thank you, Jim (Upstate NY)
If u say that is genius. U have to look how the people from indonesia fix the car.check with keyword cara mendempul dan mengecat thanks
@@juragancendol5875 You just made me watch several of those videos. What a waste! They are just applying putty and spraying paints. I'm not sure what makes you think they are genius but not impressive to me at all. Nothing special. For that kind of work, there are tons of better and more professional guys in other countries including US.
@@techsitter Oh shut up.
techsitter classic american
Awesome dude, thanks for the tutorial! Saved me over £200!
thanks bro!
Auto Repair Guys Do you sell these cars for a profit or what?
jack krauser Nobody mentioned weather for epoxy glue must be warm or use hair dryer or do it in warm heated garage
ikr fuck paying 1,200 dollars
You did a great job! I really like the way you describe the instructions with detail. Thank you!
Wow vert good wizh you could fix mine🥰
Wow very impressed guys. Thank you I am going to try and fix my son's bumper.
Great video, I would never have believed that you could repair that. 👍
You just saved me about $1000 fixing my bumper. Thanks a million!
This is the best video I’ve seen for repairing a bumper. Great job!
Man, you did such a great job. Doesn't even look like the same bumper.
Muito bom! exelente trabalho
That is really amazing!! What an incredible job! Thanks for sharing!
I was very skeptical that this was going to be even remotely as good as it turned out. I'm not a body guy but I've been in the Auto industry for several years and have seen a variety of repairs. Many repairs similar to this look like garbage. But this was a very well done job. The only downside is the amount of labor involved just to save a few dollars on a bumper cover but I can understand why someone would do this. In the end you know you did a great job and save the customer a little bit of money. Great work guys!
You are amazing and very skillful.
If you mix the bondo by over lapping instead of stirring in circles you won't have as many pin holes after it dries 👍🏻😉
Слыш, картавый
Cheers I didn't know that
The worst Bondo wipes I've ever seen
When I lived in South America I saw so many things like this repaired and I was amazed. Here in the US the auto body repair shop will automatically tell you it requires new .
I wonder how long it took him. The body shop labor cost might offset the new bumper cost, plus they want to get it done fast to get to the next job. But could be like many businesses, it's not about saving money for the customer.
James T
In the states it would definitely be as cheap to buy new.
Excellent work. The result is what counts. Keep up the good work. Thanks for posting this tutorial. 👍
Thanks for the upload!
Wow you guys are awesome keep doing what you are doing!!
Thank you!
Auto Repair Guys hey how is that the same grill from the new ford fusion and how did u removed the grill?
Dox Norcon awesome?! Hardly!
I am a welding technician of all types of fiber & fiberglass cars, motorcycles, all kinds of welding laser. And all the pictures of my work and thank God. Masterpiece. I want to work in any country
thanks for the video! AWESOME JOB ! please keep posting more videos
Great Job!
How much do you guys charge? Cause I really like to fix mine 😩
you guys are not auto repair guys but craftsmen. I can't get over how good the finished result is!
Was looking for guides to fix my bumper and at the end of the video I was 100% sure that wasn't the damaged one that was shown at the beginning of the video. That's amazing job you did there.
used bumper is about $60 at wrecking yard. this is a lot of work good job guys!
letsthinkitover1 it took my 3 years to find a car similar to mine for parts at local scrap yards, and it ended up being a sedan when I have a coupe. Not everyone can get parts from scrap yards...
Not for a new model vehicle like this was
6:38... very confident of his skills... "Look, Ma, go gloves..."
Great work guys! Looks like you guys are professionals. Thanks for sharing.
wow I am truly impressed with your job and your English. keep up the quality content
when i heard you i knew wright away where are you from originally! keep walking guys. Българи юнаци! Forever!
I didn't believe in miracles until I watched this video😂 Haha Good job man, thanks for sharing your skills👍
Amazing. This method has added advantage the bumper fits all the attachment points.
My previous car accident repair, the auto body shop bought new bumper. But the shape was not a perfect fit, and it kept popping off from some of the attachment points when you touch it even just slightly.
Beautiful work. I just love your voice. I could listen to you all day.
No he took his time that's why it looks fantastic!
good video
thank you
This is really good stuff to save money on fixing vehicles because it is expensive to fix thanks so much for allowing us to see this online.
Thank you for going into such detail, this really helped. I recently crashed my car and I'm repairing it myself. This video has been a huge help!
you guys are badass! great job
You have skillz! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Tribalstyler k
Wow. That is very professional. The bumper looked new.
Fantastic job well done ,good instructions thankyou !!!
Fantastic job. This would be a great way to fix the damage if you don't have full coverage insurance. Thank you for posting this video.
When I saw you putting on a zip tie I was like "Shit that's what I do!" Only difference is that I use fiberglass mesh and fiberglass epoxy. Excellent job guys.
Great Work Guys...and Very Well Explained..I'm saving this Video for further Tutorials so I can repair my own bumpers!!! Great Work!!!
Excellent job on the bumper and excellent video explanation!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I would drill small holes where the cracks end as it stops them from cracking further along
Thank you
I've seen this method applied to cracks on windshields, to arrest or prevent the crack from "growing".
Yes it is also the same principle they apply to stress fractures in airplanes, it stops the crack from spreading,
Mark Butterworth there is no point in drilling holes at the end of the cracks, with this type of plastic the cracks do not propagate as it is not a crystalline material. Materials science
No need to drill any holes anywhere there are better techniques if you think about it,,,,. Where was the flexible paint additive,,,,. Bondo is not flexible,,, you will have at least $250 in materials,,, 12 hours of Labor over the course of 3 days,,,. If you have the Sanders the air compressors and the spray guns,,,. If you lean on it or bump it you'll have to do it again within a year,,,,
Excellent video! If something like this happens to my car I will watch this video again and follow your steps exactly. It's good to be able to fix things like this yourself...even if you can do some PDR as well with cheap tools you can buy from Ebay. Now I am going to subscribe to your channel because you explain things very well.. Oh...one question. What about if you have the ultra sonic sensors in the bumper?
Awesome! wished I had seen this video before I got my new bumper and ground effect, would have saved A lot of money, THANK you for sharing!!
Excellent video-thanks!
heat gun is the best tool for this job
thesniperofcs
There are some Mexican body men in Queens, NYC who use an electric space heater to uniformly soften the cover when the corners have been dented by bad parallel parkers. They pop it out without any additional body work or painting. It's a miracle, a miracle I tell you!
Good job. I see 2 areas that would make it much easier. Sand the bumper before you do the zip tie stick and imbed the reinforcement into the wet epoxy.
Very Good. Thank you. Yes, as Mark says, drill a 2mm hole at the end of each crack to stop the crack running. First class job !!.
Great work. Good explanation of how to do it. You just saved me buying a new bumper cover
Why not use some over spray (different color) as an indicator for low spots?
Aaron Anderson These are not professionals.... and they used primer to indicate high and low spots a rather than a guide coat. The materials used are not flexible and would definitely not meet any insurance standards
Plastic surgery, literally!
nchia
nchia
I see what you did there. 😉
nchia hahaha
nchia e
This is so inspiring. I was quoted $800 to replace the bumper in my 2011 Ford Fusion. I may try this! Thank you again for the great video.
How did you get on ?
It’s not as easy as it looks
I've worked on cars for quite a few years and I saw a few things wrong with this video.
1) Don't use a grinder as a sander, there's different types of sandpaper and they're numbered, the higher the number, the more rough it is.
2) if you fold the bondo instead of stirring it, you'll have way less pinholes and you won't have to go over it more than once.
That's pretty much it, I am impressed with the painting, have a nice day 😊
Nice work guys. And again the Russians or another Eastern people who allways new how to survive especially when a money is a big problem. Maladcy! Ye it takes a time but at the end job done. You never be disappointed after you leave their garages. Keep up a good work on youtube.
thank you, we are originally from Bulgaria, Eastern Europe.
Cc
@Civilized nope lol
@Civilized Almost :D
Its not about survival rather its about creativity.
And that's how it's done, with low costs, but good result, it's all about craftmanship.
bla bla bla shut up!!!!!!!
Arroz con carne frita y tajadas callate
Jop Bloembergen how it's done 'properly' is by plastic welding, not this bodgy crap!
That was really educating and great job. Thanks guys!
WOW! I haven't seen craftsmanship like that in years.
Awesome job.
i tought i clicked on a Chris fix video...
Timon Ramacher just as Dodgey...
Bro same here lmaoo
Just like thaat
I love ChrisFix!
I thought it was FPS russia
I like what you guys did with the bumper....and is very educational. Thank you.
Excellent work. Keep up the great work!
14:55 is where the real skill comes in.
Dam I wish I have seen this video 2years ago before I restored my 90 mustang ...great job guyz!
Very well made and explained, excellent job done 😀
Guys where are you from ? I see a traditional Bulgarian bracelet on your hand ?
Hi, we are originally from Bulgaria :)
Така си и помислих по начина на произношение и мартеницата :D
Bogey Stalker L
you are now my father. thank you
Nice work and thumbs up for the brave mecahnics who are not using respirators from all that sanding of cancerous dust.
That bumper looked like HECK and WOW you guys did a great job! Beautiful!
i like the zip ties stitching great idea ..
The way you mix bondo... wrong! it traps air bubble
Amazing results. Nice job!
What an artist!!! Well done and great video production. 👏👏👏
nice job, however did any one see a face on the bumper at 16:00 min, when their sanding the bumper to paint it...
Ragnar R1 I’m glad somebody else saw it
nice catch lol
Yes
Very cool face!
And that’s how we get ripped off when buying a used car 😂
TryHard760 this comment hit hard
That is an ignorant comment. If it looks good, and is structurally strong, it is fine. Check CarFax anyhow. You get ripped off through ignorance.
Congratulations! This is top notch work.
Great job guys. Very informative.........keep up the good work.
Is it just me or does thing guy sound like hes under water or drowning? 😂
Ross Chubarov it's just you
how much would you charge for a job like this at your shop?
In my shop, I would buy a $78 bumper cover......done
jerry bushman yea, good luck finding a Charger SRT bumper for $78.
SPaoline4302 Check this simple search www.google.com/search?q=Charger+srt+fromg+bumper+cover&ie=&oe=#q=Charger+srt+front+bumper+cover&tbm=shop
jerry bushman yea I know how to use google genius. But you're not finding a bumper cover for $78 for a charger.
Not having any other information like year, my search came up with two for under $70, both for Chargers
Very nice work. I hope someone here in SC can do this. lol. Need a crack fixed on my mkz. Great Video!
nice work guys.. i really impress with your work.. now i know how fix my broken bumper.. thank guys..
Nice nice! Bulgarian accents?
Thank you. Yes, Bulgarian accent :)
