how to cover the black mold on front and rear bumpers

[sofrankocb7]

hello, i wasnt sure to post it as fiberglass molds, or bumper repairs, cause im not even repairing it, but anyways


as u know already the honda accords have that black mold in the center of the front and rear bumpers.

i was going to make a complete new fiberglass mold of both of them, so i wont have that black center mold,

my friend came up with an idea, that maybe we can use a type of plastic bondo and cover the moldings, then sandem down real good and all that good stuff, would that work?

do you guys have any other ideas for it, maybe someones done it before, oh where can i go on the site to search for specific posts, sorry i new to this thanks...

Mold?

I'm not sure what you're looking to do. Are you trying to give the front bumpers a shaved look?

[sofrankocb7]

on the front and rear bumpers, there are that black molding like whats on the side of the car, im just wondering if anyone has ever coverd them with like plastic bondo or fiberglass or anything, if not then ill just do my original plan, and make fiber glass bumpers for the rear and front.

You mean the black trim of the car correct ?

[sofrankocb7]

yea, that goes around the hole car, my side ones are already off, im just wanting to cover up the front and rear. if not just gunna redo them

[black sunshine]

they do have bumper type bondo that u could just fill the bumper with

[sofrankocb7]

oh for plastic, do you know what it would be called, im thinking plastic bondo or somethin, but im not that sure, ive never seen plastic bondo before but i dont know either..

Do you have enough experience with fiberglass? Cause I foresee a very dim future and outcome with this idea.

Personally, if youre going to use bondo and only bondo to fill in the trim, it will probably look horrible about 6 months after you do it...

[sofrankocb7]

yes i have experience, and im not filling in nothing, im just trying to see if it would be ok for me too go over the front and rear moldings with something

[RagingAsian]

you would be filling it in....

[sofrankocb7]

no, i would be going over the moldings on front and rear, if it were the sides (since i have them off) then i would be filling, sorry but this is starting to seem like an argument i dont want any problems here

maybe i should have been more specific, sorry, how about instead of mold change that to moldings on the front n rear bumpers, not molds.

im not talking about the lips either

here check this out this is what im talking about





the white writing says " i want these these coverd, these black things on the front and rear bumpers"

thank you all for helping me

They are not separate mouldings on the bumper like on the side of the car. They are part of the bumper skin (stick your hand behind the bumper skin on the side, you should be able to feel it). If you try to sand them down even with the bumper skin above and below them, you'll go through the bumper cover and be left with upper and lower pieces. If you want a smoother look, you can fill in the areas above and below the black with bumper repair materials (two part), then sand it, but it will still protrude beyond the rest of the bumper. Unfortunately, I've only seen this in small packages for local repairs. You're probably better off with an aftermarket bumper cover than trying to fabricate your own, but it's your car.

alright then, thanks i dont want a weird lookin bumper, so im just going to make my own like i planned, why do you guys think its going to turn out like doo doo im not some little kid from ricer central. im me. i know what looks good and what doesnt. but anyways
