Default Easy home fix Or go pro?

Small crack in bumper


Easy to fix myself? Or should I just take it to a pro?

Had a stock spoiler painted for $170 bucks, dunno if i'd be willing to pay to get my WHOLE bumper repainted for just this crack, was going to but I figured i'd check for home fixes first

Did some searchin' came up with ZERO

You could take it to a professional if it's bugging you that much. They'll probably repair the crack, spot treat the area, and blend it for you. If there isn't significant fading in the paint (doesn't look to be), they probably won't have to paint the whole bumper.

IMO, it's not that noticeable, but if it were my car, it would bug me to the point of spending some money to have it repaired.

Yeah spose I'll just take it to a shop then, and it is bugging the hell out of me.

Just don't want to get to the point of over $100 for that small crack

Well, just in case, you may need to learn how to ignore that small crack.

Can't guarantee that you won't cross that $100 mark.
