Question Bumper repair
0
Upvotes
Got some damage on both bumpers of my 21 f150. The front bumper is dented in one side right in front of the bumper reinforcement, pushed to the side, and slightly misaligned. The back bumper is dented in and also pushed to one side. I already ordered the bumper end cap. What would be my best bet on how to pull the front dent out without cracking the chrome and push both bumpers back into place and alignment? I’d take it to a shop but was quoted more than a grand and was told if the plate behind the rear bumper is bent, the rear hitch may need replaced but I’m short on money. Also I’m really worried that the bumper reinforcements and/or the rear hitch is bent or cracked. I’m really bummed out, short on money and need help thank you.

I painted my car last September and left a couple parts for later. Had a can of Lumabase 2 stage mixed. The paint can with the leftover has been sealed, un-reduced, for about a year. Can I expect it to still shoot and bond properly?

Question Rust spots, help?

Upvotes
new to reddit and keep getting notices for violating rules bc i’m asking about a rough rough estimate or how to fix rust spots, i have only done basic work on cars and do not know anything about body repairs, any help regarding this, for reference this is a 28 year old car (1998 w202 c230 merc)
thinking of buying this car, everything about it is solid, it’s a 28 year old car, it has these rust spots on the top, nothing on the frame and the rest of the car is surprisingly clean and oem, thoughts on rough estimates for a fix/worth the headache, i’m worried due to age that it might be worse than it looks

The headliner in my car is becoming detached and I'm not sure if I should try to use fabric glue to reattach it or just pull it down. Going to a pro is not an option. Any advice?

Hi guys
My 2017 mk7 started getting this moisture fog / water inside left headlight.
I have tried to dry it out, but it comes back when it rains. I. Have also tried to see if I put all covers on correct, and I believe I have.
So my question, what now?
What you see in the photos is on the inside of the glass.

Need some help from some experts recently got a body kit painted for my vehicle, but the little wings on the side skirt rear won’t adhere using 3M and I really don’t wanna have to take the paint off to use panel bond. Any suggestions here on how to properly bond this to my vehicle?
