Well a buddy of mine has had this Dodge Avenger for ~5 years now. The bumper has somewhat turned into more of a plow on the **** thing lol and it was tore up bad. Fixing it up for him and putting fresh paint on it. Nice paint too, very expensive at $110 a pint. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Anyways, trying to finish this so I can get back to work on my own stuff. Heres some pics....BTW Im SICK of sanding this thing.

That was the start of the sanding. A lot of the paint was chipped off so most of it was stripped.

Still scratches showing through from the last 220 sanding. Next day or two Ill hit it good with 400, fix any major problem spots and then I can finally paint it.

This thing would have been done soo long ago if I hadnt ran into issues with the ****ing adhesion promoter...oh well, wont happen again Ill tell you that much.

make sure you put some backing where that crack was on the bottom of the bumper. otherwise it could crack again
