    OK, I have to put some pics up tomorrow, but I will give you a low down as to my issue. I have an 07 Avalanche that due to my wife now has a large scrape on the front right bumper. Now, the scrape is down to the substrate so it will need a repaint. Besides buffing out the white in the scrape, is there any good paint product on the market that I might be able to give it a go myself? I need a filler for the scrape, not sure if it would be worth my time, any suggestions.

    With bumpers, you had to make sure that the paint has a flexing agent in it, or put the flexing agent in it. How deep are the scrapes?

    I wouldn't recommend bondo, when I get home I'll have to check what the name of the stuff is called, but its meant for urethane bumpers.

    The scrapes are through the paint in a few areas, I will likely need a repaint, just wanted to see if there was anything I could try.

    You know, what is it with gals and running into things like this. My wife did the same thing with our Allroad a few months ago although it was nowhere near as bad as this. You should put her in one of those old ass Jeep pick-ups as her punishment.
