3. Sand down resin to flush with the bumper
4. Use bondo($25ish) or autoglaze whatever you want to fill the minor pinholes and other spots.
5.Sand bumper with 320 grit (make sure everything is smooth, use your whole hand over the areas to check that it is smooth, any slight height differences will show in paint)
6. Prime/sand/paint/sand/clear/sand/buff
What he said... Fiberglass repair is rather easy if you set a weekend aside for it... Painting might want to do it at a shop unless you have prior experience... If i could find pics of before and after my bumper id show you. Atlot worse than that and looked new afterwards
