Now I'm definitely not a pro at body work. Really, this is my first time doing this kind of thing.
So when I bought my car, it had a bra on it. Upon taking the bra off, the fender was dented and the front bumper was very scratched and missing the emblem. Finally decided to conquer this crap just because CSP meet it coming up! Now the new paint is noticeably brighter than the rest of my car, one because my car is dirty and two cuz it just is brighter lol. I still need to clearcoat everything too. All the pics were taken with my phone...sorry. Don't really have any pictures of the bumper right when I took the bra off so I'll start with the fiberglass patching over the emblem holes.  Sanding down the bumper.  Work day! Bumper almost completely sanded, notice pooor dented fender   Kind of a pain to get off...  Booooooo  Start sanding the fender.  Got the dent out best I could...probably gonna bondo sooner or later.  Bumper off!!  After I sanded the rest, primed.  Primed!  Some paint.  Fender back on.  Bumper back on.  Now not exactly perfect, but I'd say not bad for a regular dude lol  Plus the rest of my car is filthy!
