So, I love my Mustang, but I got a serious ding on the crummy front bumper. At this point, it is just a small chunk that got gouged out, but if left untended, could grow to a large scar. Meaning: large flakes of urethane? polyethelene? Whatever?
Anyway, does anyone know of some sealant substance that I can paint onto the small ding now, so as to prevent a big problem later? Since I am a girl, my first thought was nail polish, but I would appreciate advice about something more durable. I already have the touch-up paint, but this requires more&
Advice appreciated.
Regards,
Andrea

i have seen powerwashing get an edge lifted and peel back paint
the problem with most products is the flexable nature of the part
a real plastic bumper paint job has a "flex additive" in the mixture
sealing the area in with touch up paint should be ok
how serious in dimension is a small chunk?
quarter
half dollar
or hand sized?

Is this gouge a surface imperfection or a hole in the bumper? Most auto parts stores sell flexible bumper repair material. Any thing up to a quarter-sized hole should be repairable.

This is just a small ding (less than 1/4" long and mm wide). I noticed that the poly-whatever coating on the bumper was prone to flaking off. I thought that some sort of sealant might correct the problem before it got out of hand. The bumper itself was not compromised.
The touch-up paint I got from Ford seemed too thin to stop the "flake" issue. It seems as if I need some sort of heavier coating "stuff" to stop the "flake."
Am I making any sense at all?
Thanks -
