Scratched black bumper plastics repair

I've been using the forum for the last 12 months so thought it was time I registered and added a few posts. Thought I'd start with something I couldn't find any info on which I'm sure a few people have encountered, scratched plastic bumper trim.
My wife caught the bumper on the gate and damaged the paint and textured bumper plastic. I thought the bumper was in 2 parts but its all one and the price of a new or undamaged second hand bumper was stupid.
I purchased some textured bumped paint and set about on trying it out today and I am chuffed with the results. I have only done a small section and still have the bottom to do and the paint to fix but you get the idea.
before
sanded
Filled
Sanded again
and painted...

Great job, looks like new !
I have a couple of bumper plastic scuffs that I might DIY myself now after seeing this !
Which bumper paint did you use and which filler ?

That's not a bad fix there.
Certainly saved you a few pennies, and i am sure will help others out too.
I read somewhere that applying heat can sort some defects out, but in your case they looked a little deep!!

That looks great. My wife's rear bumper has a dimple and some scratches where a previous owner has reversed into something so I think Ill get some of this to have a go. Thanks!

WOW! That looks great. I put a scratch on my front bumper which waves at me every time I see my car so I will definitely try this....better than £500 for a new IS front.
