Default How do I repair a dimple/indentation on my bumper?
Someone rolled into the front of my car and left a dime-size dimple in my front bumper where their liscense plate screw hit my plastic. Any recommendations for filling this hole?

Thanks in advance!

Default Not sure about your car, but if the area is metal it can be popped out by Dent Wizard, if it's
plastic it needs to be filed and re-painted by a pro IMO.

It's plastic. I head about a 3M sealant/adhesive that I might try...

Are you going to repaint it yourself or hope it blends?

It's the size of a nickle ... so I'm going to use touch-up paint and hope for the best!
