Dr. Color Chip bumper cover repair

[LSNAutoDetailing]

Gotta love Massachusetts highways! Huge piece of sheet metal tore up bumper cover. Only way to make it 100% would be for body shop work. Dr. Color ship is NOT a body shop in a bottle, but is amazing for that 1ft away repair.
Completed all the steps below in less than 45 minutes.

Like I said, perfection could only be at a body shop level. The cuts into the bumper cover from sheet metal hitting this doing 75 mph on I93 in MA created creators in the bumper cover. But, 45 Min, D114, 1000/2000/3000 sand paper, M105/M2015 , Dr. Color Prep and Dr Color Dip... Not bad vs. $750 at the body shop.

Thanks!

For more info and great videos, Dr. Color chip teamed up with AGO & Mike Phillips. I found these videos very helpful. The great thing about Dr. Color Chip is, if one technique doesn't work, you can remove everything and start over. I had tried about three techniques before settling on which one worked the best.
