Sad Sonata

Maintenance/Repairs
1

I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. Earlier this winter someone hit (and ran) the rear plastic bumper and punctured it and gouged it fairly well. But the plastic bumper was not structurally damaged.

QUESTIONS: SINCE THE BUMPER IS PLASTIC AND SOMEWHAT FLEXIBLE: CAN I PATCH THE SMALL HOLE WITH A 2-PART EPOXY AND FIBERGLASS MESH? WILL BONDO OR REGULAR GLAZING COMPOUND WORK TO FILL IN THE GOUGES? IS THERE A SPECIAL PRIMER THAT I NEED TO USE ON PLASTIC?



Thanks Much.
