Thanks for all of the posts (above). RE: post by mbkite (above), I took off the bumper cover and believe I did see these; however the Styrofoam pad seems to be getting in the way (Ie. too bulky), and thus not allowing them to connect. Thanks for the two new posts (above). I did take some...

Thank you for both replies. 1- Regarding the most recent reply (from dcjredline): I just bought a new bumper cover online, and thought that would solve the problem. Still no luck. I will try and take the bumper cover off and take a few photos, so maybe I can understand more of what you mean...

Hi. I have just come back to this thread but am still having the same problem. I read your response. Thank you. Would either of these be what you are referring to: 1- Front Bumper Reinforcement Bracket, or 2- Front Outer Bumper Cover Reinforcement Bracket?

Thanks for the reply, Octopiston. FYI, the middle pic is just to show the dented fender (as it had not been repainted). The third pic is to show the fender after repairing the dent with a hammer and dolly. (Not to show the paint). The first pic is meant to show the paint (job). As far as...

Hi. I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla, and as of about three days ago, there was no problem. Now, (not sure why); just want to fix... the Driver's side front bumper cover is not fitting flush with the fender. There is about a 1cm gap. I have tried completely removing and re-attaching twice with...

Hi. Until a couple of days ago, this was not a problem. I'm not sure why, but for whatever reason; now, "There is a significant (1 cm) gap, between where the driver's side front bumper cover attaches (just below the fender). [The passenger side is normal]. How do I get the bumper cover to...

Quick question, What (specifically) do you mean by, "Work on the foundation"? (Ie. What specific steps). (Remember, I'm using "rattle can", but do have a DA sander/polisher). Thanks, Rollo May

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello Octopiston, Thank you for your reply. 1- To answer your first question, "That the paint looks a little uneven"... I'm not really sure...

Re: Can I use Ultimate Compound (or should I skip to only using Ultimate Polish)? - Ahead in Time I realize with a forum like this that there is a time lag, as everyone is busy with their day job as well, and gets back to the forum when they can. Here, are a couple of pics: 1- Dented fender...

I didn't mean I had finished painting the car (yesterday). I meant that I had finished. It took quite some time, as I painted the entire car. Getting out the dents, working the Bondo; and then getting the car prepped for paint to a great while. So, in this case; time is relative, as it's...

Really. Great post Bill. I appreciate it. I'll have to remember that. Thanks. Do you know if only using the polish (and no compound), after of course first wet sanding it smooth, would leave you with less oxidation?

First, I forgot to mention in my post, that I "then", followed-up by painting it with an acrylic enamel aerosol paint/clear. (So the first was a Gloss Black. Then a week later, a painted over that with a, Crystal clear). That was actually a recommendation from an agent at Duplicolor (which is...

I don't think I explained the situation completely enough here, my apologies, as this is my first question posted, though I have followed this forum for quite some time. I meant that finally after doing all of the prep work involved I have finally finished painting this car. And used an...

I'm somewhat new to the forum, thus I meant this reply to be to all of the recommendations received (not just the one quoted, above). I painted it about a week ago. Can says to let it dry seven days before "doing anything". Seems like I read in a post last year where Mike (Philips) said to...
