[QUOTE="Brad, post: 2573347, member: 4683"] Decided to mess with body work today. Anyway I crashed into a tree/mail box last winter and put a nice size dent in my truck. Every part of this dent was a crease, sucks. [IMG]http://www.mirrorfinished.com/polishing/truck6.jpg[/IMG] Anyway last night I got really sick of looking at it, so I pulled it off. [IMG]http://mirrorfinished.com/polishing/Bumper/b1.jpg[/IMG] I left the paint on the bumper so I could get a better idea as to the shape of the metal, its hard to tell what's going on with bare metal. [IMG]http://mirrorfinished.com/polishing/Bumper/b2.jpg[/IMG] Here it is after about 30 min worth of shaping and grinding. [IMG]http://mirrorfinished.com/polishing/Bumper/b3.jpg[/IMG] Another pic from another angle [IMG]http://mirrorfinished.com/polishing/Bumper/b4.jpg[/IMG] I couldn't control some of the high spots with just the hammer, so I had to heat up some areas to bang them back down, I've been working on it for about 2 hours so far. [IMG]http://mirrorfinished.com/polishing/Bumper/b6.jpg[/IMG] I sanded and cleaned the metal, then put a coat of bondo on there, then left for class around 1. [IMG]http://mirrorfinished.com/polishing/Bumper/b7.jpg[/IMG] Got back from class then sanded it a little more, and here is what it currently looks like with 2 coats of primer. [IMG]http://mirrorfinished.com/polishing/Bumper/b8.jpg[/IMG] I'm going to wet sand this in a couple of hours, then get a some base coat on there. I picked up the black from ford, so I'll get 4-5 coats of that on tonight, wet sand it in the morning, clear it out, wet sand, then polish it up.. I'll post pics of that tomorrow.. [/QUOTE]
