I've been reading though some of the threads but thought I'd better check before undertaking such an important repair. The damages are in the pics and I ordered some 3M 5895 online (ebay)
The large alligator cracks in the center are striking and I could lose the body line in the center, especially on the vertical portion which has many nicks though didn't get into the first picture. The spiderweb cracking on the back of the bumper runs nearly the entire width of the hood for 1.5- 2 inches and I can catch a thumbnail in them pretty easily. It would be great deal of grinding out. I see people use epoxy primer as the filler applying 4 coats and blocking and then rinse and repeat a couple more times. Do I have to cut out these yards of cracks? I suspect there wont be much endura left at that point. There isn't much of a straight line to follow on the nose and its easy to "lose the form" on the large alligator cracks. Any input is appreciated. Last edited by onewheelpeel; 03-28-2026 at 10:16 AM. Reason: typo typhoon |
