I’m sorry about the chip in your bumper!
To fix a chip in your bumper, you will need to sand, fill, and repaint the damaged area.
Here’s how to fix a chip:
Use sandpaper to smooth the chipped area, extending about one inch around the chip.
Fill the chip with putty and smooth it out. Allow it to harden completely.
Apply mesh reinforcement with clear adhesive. Allow it to dry.
Apply repair material with a putty knife, pushing it down into the chipped area. Let it dry.
You can do this repair yourself, but most people prefer to take their vehicle to a body repair shop for bumper problems. A garage can match the paint and ensure proper ventilation during the repair process.
Generally, it’s cheaper to fix a chip than buy a new bumper. However, it’s worth getting a quote
