@candylisaxo: This mistake might not show up today... but it'll definitely show up later. 👀 . Body filler and flexible plastic bumpers don't mix. In this video I show why filler cracks when the bumper flexes, and explaining why your paint job won't last. 🔧
Did you know that filler specifically for plastic was invented ages ago?

there is plastic filler, and bumpers don't flex that much in the real world application.

Wouldn’t flex a bumper that much anyway. Paint would end up cracking

usually pretty good but this advice is poor. She’s pretty much saying every bumper needs to be replaced for new. Plastic filler, plastic welding is fine if done properly

they only move and flex when they have a bump.. in that case its going to need a repair anyway... they dont just flex on their own

There’s a product by evercoat called poly flex, 3m has 2 part plastic repair products as well. Most bumper repairs don’t require added material most of the time you can use heat and form it back into shape, but sometimes you do have to add material just use the products that are designed for it. Hope this helps the people in the comments asking.
