[QUOTE=dw103;50550]Does anyone have any ideas on repairing some tiny gouge marks on my rear bumper? Living here in the Big Apple, parking is still a blood sport.[/QUOTE
gouges are, they may be able to be buffed out lightly. The color is all thru, isn't it? Even fine wet-o-dry (use wet) may be all you need to smooth them out. No power buffing...that may create too much heat and screw the plastic up making it hazy due to melting. A good body shop guy would know how to deal with it for sure. Having a custom mixed spray can of your color would also be a good thing to have since you will be repairing battle/parking damage as long as you go into the city.
Too bad smart didn't make some plastic filler the color of your car. Since there are not too many shades and colors to deal with, that should not be hard to do. Fill in the gouges, let dry, sand smooth and polish....
I'll have to ask my dealership about this...good question...
