rear bumper repair

like eight months ago my neighbor and i were backing out of our parking spaces at the same time (condos). i'd heard from another neighbor that each of us looked left and right opposite each other, both looked behind and then we both started backing up and we hit each others' bumpers. we checked out the cars and had a laugh about the whole thing and went about our business. no real damage--i actually got it worse in that my paint cracked a little bit.

the other day i took the car through the touchless wash and a chunk of paint got blown off so i had to do something about it.

voila! instant bumper repair:



cheaper than getting the bumper repainted a second time! the car must just want an idiot mark on that part of the bumper since it had one there when i bought it--which i had the bumper repainted to remove.

hm, should you have primed it or something first? I'd hate to see it rust behind that sticker then start to spread
