It's called PRT classes Plastic. Repair.Technichian and he butchered the job honestly he used 2 different types of plastic in class you supposed to use material or weld on plastic never scrap And patch parts together I'm taught to do life time rprs
Looks great, but he didn’t do anything to keep the cracks from continuing. It’s always a good idea to drill a hole at the end of a crack; otherwise, no matter what you do the they’ll just keep running. Maybe days, maybe months later, but the cracks will definitely run. Other than that, excellent repair work.
It looks like they cut the part where he filled in the cracks. After welding those pins in, you can use a soldering iron and a cable tie to literally solder all the cracks together.
@@makeintoschu 😅, in Europe most certainly not., Doesn't look best practice, im no expert. But here they bill like 200$ for just changing the front bumper.😂 Ridiculous
@@7b0ne What this video doesn't show, however, is the painted fog lights, shitty repair that will fall off within a month, and the different shade of color not blending with the rest of the car.
Just the repair tool is a bit of genius. The guy doing it has great skills. Given where this is, I'd guess it cost the car owner less than $100. Yeah, here in the states, the body shop will replace the entire thing and bill the ins company a grand. What a rip.
Worked in a couple body shops, one of which was my grandpa's. We did not just replace the parts. Actually a lot similar to this video, except the binding tool. We'd repair anything if it wasn't broken into multiple pieces. Or if it wasn't absolutely bent to hell. My favorite part was always matching paints and doing the painting after the repairs though.
Around 15-20 years ago we used to fix laptops shells this way. Laptops were VERY expensive those days, especially in country I'm coming from. Also, whole parts were super expensive and not readily available as they are now. We usually had some scrap laptops from which we could take plastic and use it in similar way as this guy, but obviously without those metal joins/connectors (don't know how to call them). Instead we would powder that plastic we had, use some base layer (some technical tape) and then melt that powdered plastic (with small hand gas welder) layer by layer to get it as flat and smooth as possible. Then sanding cleaning and spraying - typical work. Clients could never tell what was done as it looked perfectly. We were also strengthening similar way the plastics around hinges which were breaking apart so often those days. They are much better now.
That's came out so nice. I wasnt expecting that at all. Very good job and you showed how it's possible to do it yourself and save money. Instead of getting the whole bumper replaced at a shop. Which would cost around 1000 like most people had said in other comments.
@@davorzdralo8000un my country that car would cost 3.000 U$S and the bumper 70 dollars but my salary is about 400 bucks per month, so I'd have to fix the bumper if case 😢
@@diosantana2659 another one who talks only because is free.. I claimed " that car" ( not mine) cost around $3000 in my car but our salaries are too low . Consequently is always a better option to repair the bumper instead of the replacement of it.
Goodyear work, I would recommend to drill a 3mm hole at both ends of every crack. That will prevent the crack of more ripping open, because it eliminates the material tension.
One thing I suggest doing if you plan on doing this is to sand the bondo first. He applied the bondo (green stuff) and then it looks like he applies the glaze (tan stuff) it’s best to sand bondo first prior to adding glaze to make the glaze to “stick better” and you will get a smoother job.

I've used this sprayer several times now on brick pavers, a wood deck, patio, and a driveway. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX It has performed as expected on all surfaces. For larger areas like the decks and patios, I think I will be looking into a surface cleaner attachment to speed up the job, or at least make it a little easier.

The functional part of the washer works very well, so I would recommend this product.
Why do peoplle think the cracks are going to continue or come back? He basically plastic welded it back together with an embedded metal stitching/staple. I have confidence in this guy and his work.
He didn't fix the crack he just attached them back together, a crack will always spread of you don't drill a hole at the end of the cracks It's common for cymbals on drums to continue cracking if you don't stop the crack with a hole at the end
Because cracks always do this in every material. It's a literal physical separation on the molecular level. The only difference is the amount of time it takes for the separation to continue extending, which is based on the material and the amount of heat/vibration it is exposed to. By intentionally drilling a clean hole, you provide a stress relief that ceases the tearing event because it terminates into nothing. Very commonly used is lightweight firearms and cars because of all the stresses they experience with operation.
It's hard to tell from the cut shots, but based on this video, from start to finish, I bet this guy could have all of that work done and the vehicle back to the customer in 4 hours or less. I wish we had more people and businesses that specialize in this kind of repair, instead of notifying you that you'll have to buy a replacement part (new: $2,500) (used from junkyard: $800)

Of course one can replace the broken bumper with new piece made from China, or the old piece from junkyard. But watching this guy skill is refreshing. Because if you can repair bumper like this, replacing bumper is no big deal
This one seems to work well, i often see a similar repair in my country, it consists in using a steel net to bond the broken plastic, but they are always broken again, and the net has started to rust. Mediocre job often paired with hidden screws to hold the front bumper in a way you could never ever take the bumper off again (you have to break the plastic and the paint job to reach the screw).
I would have done it differently, using a new sheet of plastic to bond to the back and to fill in the cracks using plastic cement, but to each their own I suppose. The body filling, sanding, and painting, of course would be the same.
Give it a few weeks, you'll see every crack and especially his "patch" as the filler shrinks. Don't even get me started on his wet sanding the second coat of filler...
@@S-O-T As an auto body tech for over twenty years I will disagree with that. Every kind of filler shrinks, even the best kinds. The degree of shrinkage may be less with a higher quality, but it still shrinks. Unless you're using duraglas don't wet sand your filler either. Fillers are porous, and will absorb water. It'll end up looking like little rust bubbles a week or two later, just like the cracks and "patch".
@@S-O-T It only shrinks to a certain degree jackass. It's not like it continues to shrink over time, more like shrinks to show sanding scratches and poor quality patches. I know what I'm capable of, and yes I do consider myself an expert. Having fixed thousands of cars (other than my own) over my career I think "expert" is an appropriate title. But yeah, keep using cheap plastic filler on your own junk and people like myself will call it how they see it...
@@disgruntledegghead6923they’re meant to shrink so that they can come back for repairs. All these repairs are temporary and a scam, best to have the whole OEM replaced.
It’s incredible of the work he did and a good way to save the bumper it may cost 100 to 200 dollars or more and the comments for some makes no sense of the crack could still be there but he uses metallic patch and paint to cover it which to me should cover the cracks well if it still has it this is just to keep you from buying a new bumper for a while and need to take care of the car and be careful driving.
Isto não é um bom trabalho. O pára-choque tem uma função técnica que é de proteger o carro e vc. Este tipo de coisa é só pra ficar bonito. Toda função do pára-choque deixa de existir.
Nice work! Never seen those little zig zag clips (Not sure what you call them?) before. Great handiwork. Could’ve used this technique when my wife backed into a hydrant and made a 4” diameter hole in the bumper. I “fixed” it with a couple sports bumper stickers. Not a big sports guy but they did the trick. Just changed them every like 3-4 years.
Those things do work great as long as you don't live near the ocean and they don't put salt on the roads in winter. The stitches are made of mild steel and the rust will show through the body work and paint within a few months. It will hold together, just that the rust will swell everything under the paint. If you make your own stitches with some stainless steel wire it will last much longer.
@@TankswillRule 1) The bumper needs to be removed before doing this. 2) First, grab all the pieces with a soldering iron, then solder with plastic strips on both sides (according to the type of plastic of the bumper itself). Different materials are unacceptable, because when driving, the bumper is subjected to different loads and will most likely burst, if not along the seam itself, then along it. In addition, you will be surprised why your bumper is rusted, and it's because there are staples that no one has treated, at least inside. 3) The putty should be for plastic, he uses universal (yellow) and fiber (green), the second is a particularly big mistake on the bumper. Bumper putty and fiber putty have the same price, but why he use fiber? 4) there should be a primer between the putty and the paint, it is very important 5) before painting, you need to matt the surface that will be covered with paint, and the author has matted only the putty These are just the basics, I'm not even talking about the transition between the old paint and the new one... and not only. Everything looks better in the video, but if you looked at the result in person, you would never pay for it. And after a while it will look even worse. That's why no one does this in normal workshops in my country. For people who paint cars, it's not a repair, it's a very bad done job, he has the materials, the conditions are there... if only he had a little more effort and knowledge of painting. Even if there is no plastic for soldering, you can cut it out of a similar bumper. But no... and for ordinary viewers it looks like "wow". Sorry for my English)
He needs to blend/fade the new paint with old paint on the car. I can see the divide from the newly painted to original paint. He zoomed in so most people won't notice, but in a clip that he zoomed out, I saw it.
Painting indoors would’ve been a good idea. I have this bumper repair tool as well and I’ve never thought of going from the outside (rather than taking the bumper off and going from the covered side)
I used one of these plastic welding tools on my own car, to repair some body trim. I filled in the gaps left by the repair, by using an old soldering iron and a cable tie to literally solder the gaps together. I don't have the patience or skill to get all perfectly smooth and spray it, but it's definitely good enough for inside the engine bay!
Here in US, mechanics or body shop workers will never go that extra mile to do this work . Instead, they’ll spend more time removing old bumper & replace with new one & charge a nominal amount of money to the customer. Also, normally once you remove a original factory part & replace with aftermarket, chances are that certain areas don’t fit correctly or lock in correctly. If this guy was here, he can do this specialty work as a good side hustle!
Because it’s more cost effective to just buy a new bumper and paint it than spend money on labour and materials to repair and paint it. It’s got nothing to do with going the extra mile.
You can have the same hack job done in the U.S. If you pay for quality, you want quality. If you just want to cover up an old beater, plenty of little shops can paperclip your bumper back together. They let you know that it's not guaranteed or perfect, but it's cheap. Many shops won't do it because too many customers think $150 should get them a whole brand new car.
Of course the OEM would never recommend a repair like that. Also, many of the cars now have sensors behind the bumpers so it's imperative to make sure that nothing blocks the sensors. But honestly still looks good. I know everybody is saying that there's little techniques that they could do even better, but for a quick patch job doesn't look that bad at all.
Of course oem wouldn't recommend, because it's mean less part for oem to sell. The mechanic would know if the bumper would have sensors. But most cheaper/budget car in 3rd world country doesn't have the sensor and don't really give a damn about it.
I wonder how long that took and what the cost comparison would be with getting a complete new bumper. Also what is the longevity of this repair with weathering etc. Nice job though.
The repair paint has a hard edge at the front of the bumper. You can see it in the far shot but it’s outside the frame on the close up intentionally. Still, better than the damage that was there prior
For anybody who's wondering what this tool is called, it's called a hot stapler. Or plastic welding machine.

Mediocre job often paired with hidden screws to hold the front bumper in a way you could never ever take the bumper off again (you have to break the plastic and the paint job to reach the screw).
I would have done it differently, using a new sheet of plastic to bond to the back and to fill in the cracks using plastic cement, but to each their own I suppose. The body filling, sanding, and painting, of course would be the same.
@@FireRupee that is a better method, but it takes longer. Those metal clips will expand and contract and eventually crack the paint.
That's really cool, never seen a bumper end being fixed up like that!😳
Give it a few weeks, you'll see every crack and especially his "patch" as the filler shrinks.
Don't even get me started on his wet sanding the second coat of filler...
@@disgruntledegghead6923 good quality filler doesn't shrink
@@S-O-T As an auto body tech for over twenty years I will disagree with that. Every kind of filler shrinks, even the best kinds. The degree of shrinkage may be less with a higher quality, but it still shrinks.
Unless you're using duraglas don't wet sand your filler either. Fillers are porous, and will absorb water. It'll end up looking like little rust bubbles a week or two later, just like the cracks and "patch".
@@S-O-T It only shrinks to a certain degree jackass. It's not like it continues to shrink over time, more like shrinks to show sanding scratches and poor quality patches.
I know what I'm capable of, and yes I do consider myself an expert. Having fixed thousands of cars (other than my own) over my career I think "expert" is an appropriate title.
But yeah, keep using cheap plastic filler on your own junk and people like myself will call it how they see it...
@@disgruntledegghead6923they’re meant to shrink so that they can come back for repairs. All these repairs are temporary and a scam, best to have the whole OEM replaced.
Belo trabalho
One of the best car fixing videos I’ve seen tell you that much!
You the man bro... Customer has to be satisfied with that.
That's what you call resourcefulness!
Serviço perfeito esse Jack é profissional ❤❤
More impressive than his skills, its his column. Awesome work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s incredible of the work he did and a good way to save the bumper it may cost 100 to 200 dollars or more and the comments for some makes no sense of the crack could still be there but he uses metallic patch and paint to cover it which to me should cover the cracks well if it still has it this is just to keep you from buying a new bumper for a while and need to take care of the car and be careful driving.
Great job 👏 next time please cover the fog lamps too 😂
They are covered,can't you see its got masking tape on ? Fool
That's what real skill and creativity is

This isn't car repair - this is art!
Wow!! This guy knows what he's doing! I am amazed about his work. I would go to him anytime!😊
Ficou muito bom.
Parabéns pelo trabalho e habilidade.
Você é um bom funileiro, aqui no Brasil não faltaria trabalho pra vocês.
Pra fazer essa porcaria as baquetas contratariam ele com certeza.
Isto não é um bom trabalho. O pára-choque tem uma função técnica que é de proteger o carro e vc. Este tipo de coisa é só pra ficar bonito. Toda função do pára-choque deixa de existir.
@@Mestre_Linguica Sabe de nada!
@@marcelosrn4805 quem?
That was very cool, and the results are excellent.
This is absolutely awesome!!! So much skill!! Brilliant ❤
That is awesome!!! It looks great like nothing ever happened!!
Nice work! Never seen those little zig zag clips (Not sure what you call them?) before. Great handiwork.
Could’ve used this technique when my wife backed into a hydrant and made a 4” diameter hole in the bumper. I “fixed” it with a couple sports bumper stickers. Not a big sports guy but they did the trick. Just changed them every like 3-4 years.
If I remember correctly, it's a type of plastic welder, and the clips are known as staples
@@Jarombean Thanks!
It’s called a hot stapler
So every 4 years u decide not to fix ur bumper...if u done this 3 times it migbt be time for a new car, or at least a mechanic.
I didn't know tools like this existed. I just went to the junkyard, and bought a replacement bumper, had it painted, and installed it.
Those things do work great as long as you don't live near the ocean and they don't put salt on the roads in winter. The stitches are made of mild steel and the rust will show through the body work and paint within a few months. It will hold together, just that the rust will swell everything under the paint. If you make your own stitches with some stainless steel wire it will last much longer.
The man knows what he's doing. Brilliant job mate.
Excellant repair - Amazing skills. Well done.
😂😂😂"excellent repair"...khm..no, its not
@@Maks-qk7hc7hd1z go on. Explain.
@@TankswillRule 1) The bumper needs to be removed before doing this.
2) First, grab all the pieces with a soldering iron, then solder with plastic strips on both sides (according to the type of plastic of the bumper itself). Different materials are unacceptable, because when driving, the bumper is subjected to different loads and will most likely burst, if not along the seam itself, then along it. In addition, you will be surprised why your bumper is rusted, and it's because there are staples that no one has treated, at least inside.
3) The putty should be for plastic, he uses universal (yellow) and fiber (green), the second is a particularly big mistake on the bumper. Bumper putty and fiber putty have the same price, but why he use fiber?
4) there should be a primer between the putty and the paint, it is very important
5) before painting, you need to matt the surface that will be covered with paint, and the author has matted only the putty
These are just the basics, I'm not even talking about the transition between the old paint and the new one... and not only. Everything looks better in the video, but if you looked at the result in person, you would never pay for it. And after a while it will look even worse. That's why no one does this in normal workshops in my country.
For people who paint cars, it's not a repair, it's a very bad done job, he has the materials, the conditions are there... if only he had a little more effort and knowledge of painting. Even if there is no plastic for soldering, you can cut it out of a similar bumper. But no... and for ordinary viewers it looks like "wow".
Sorry for my English)
He needs to blend/fade the new paint with old paint on the car. I can see the divide from the newly painted to original paint. He zoomed in so most people won't notice, but in a clip that he zoomed out, I saw it.
It's quite difficult to do that. A better option is repaint whole bumper.
I saw the hardline too 😢 maybe it was a budget fix
Love it. No bs, just the task at hand.
Satisfatório! Parabéns pela funilaria!!
The main thing is, he wore a mask when grinding those pins off. 😂
If only all garages were dedicated like this gentleman.
I'll have to order the parts. Should arrive next week.
_many hours later....._
🤑
Extraordinary work well done 👏
That's beautiful!
It takes an amazing amount of skill to do this and the right tools give props. Now who feels like they can fix their car this was awesome 👏 ❤
Well, that was fascinating and so satisfying to watch! Subscribed 👍!
That rocks!!! So cool!
Бампер нужно снять, отмыть вкруг, и делать скобы с задней стороны 🎉
Painting indoors would’ve been a good idea. I have this bumper repair tool as well and I’ve never thought of going from the outside (rather than taking the bumper off and going from the covered side)
To be fair have you ever really thought at all?
Hi, can you please give the name of this tool I want to buy it and fix my broken bumper by myself
I used one of these plastic welding tools on my own car, to repair some body trim. I filled in the gaps left by the repair, by using an old soldering iron and a cable tie to literally solder the gaps together. I don't have the patience or skill to get all perfectly smooth and spray it, but it's definitely good enough for inside the engine bay!
Rumor has it that Ocean gate used this same technique to maintain the Titan submarine.
WOW, that looks like a New Bumper... ❤️
This was very well done
I thought it was a awesome cheap fast fix! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Great job man! Turned out amazing!
The structural integrity restored and nobody would know the wiser
Trabalho muito bom!
Here in US, mechanics or body shop workers will never go that extra mile to do this work . Instead, they’ll spend more time removing old bumper & replace with new one & charge a nominal amount of money to the customer. Also, normally once you remove a original factory part & replace with aftermarket, chances are that certain areas don’t fit correctly or lock in correctly. If this guy was here, he can do this specialty work as a good side hustle!
Because it’s more cost effective to just buy a new bumper and paint it than spend money on labour and materials to repair and paint it.
It’s got nothing to do with going the extra mile.
You can have the same hack job done in the U.S.
If you pay for quality, you want quality.
If you just want to cover up an old beater, plenty of little shops can paperclip your bumper back together. They let you know that it's not guaranteed or perfect, but it's cheap.
Many shops won't do it because too many customers think $150 should get them a whole brand new car.
Body shop labor rates can go upwards of $150/hr depending on the shop and vehicle. That guy probably takes home $150 a month. If that at all.
I’d rather have a new bumper.
Sometimes replacing the part is the correct repair.
Beautiful job!!
You make it look so elegant Samurai Jack
Brilliant plastic bumber repair !!Just saved 3000 dollars !!
The key to paint is mask off tire but not lights.😅
Great job! I remember when bumpers protected cars instead of sacrificing themselves.
That was when everybody got whiplash from minor accidents
Finally someone saw the paint on the fog light
Thank you. This was excellent. 👍
So satisfying to watch!
Of course the OEM would never recommend a repair like that. Also, many of the cars now have sensors behind the bumpers so it's imperative to make sure that nothing blocks the sensors. But honestly still looks good. I know everybody is saying that there's little techniques that they could do even better, but for a quick patch job doesn't look that bad at all.
Of course oem wouldn't recommend, because it's mean less part for oem to sell. The mechanic would know if the bumper would have sensors. But most cheaper/budget car in 3rd world country doesn't have the sensor and don't really give a damn about it.
I wonder how long that took and what the cost comparison would be with getting a complete new bumper. Also what is the longevity of this repair with weathering etc. Nice job though.
Forever.
Until you wreck it again
Nah, it looks crap.
In the West, replacing the bumper cover works out cheaper.
probably forever if the paint wuality is good.
@@thefreedomguyukno?
Congratulations Jack! God job!!!
I am not very knowledgeable about cars, but from an outsider perspective this person looks pretty resourceful.
У меня так пластиковый бампер ЗАРЖАВЕЛ😅 Прошлый владелец починил, а я потом голову сломал почему так произошло

Такой ремонт для жарких стран. У нас большие перепады температуры и влажность.
@@mirymir2282 да это вообще не вариант для ремонта даже в жарких странах. Просто гАфноделы с тремя классами образования не умеют иначе
Un aplauso para las personas como este hombre que repara y no substituye. No al consumismo.
Bring back metal bumpers
Sin consumismos no hay empresas. Sin empresas no hay trabajo, sin trabajo te mueres de hambre
Jack I've never seen this before well done.
This is bloody brilliant!
This looks cheaper than a deductible. The plastic bumper on my '09 Altima was valued over $2,000. And this was 10 years ago.
You don't know how to shop around. You got scammed
@@imhungry2387 I got a free bumper and the other person's insurance paid for it. Nice try tho.
The repair paint has a hard edge at the front of the bumper. You can see it in the far shot but it’s outside the frame on the close up intentionally.
Still, better than the damage that was there prior
He also sprayed the fog light pretty good
スゴすぎる！！
サムネ見たとき、サメの絵でも作るのかと思った🦈笑
Wow! Actually repairing instead of just replacing. 👍 I like it!
