Well, we've got a victim fiberglass bumper piece from the Vanagon we're using for parts. Got a Bondo kit and will be filling in the holes on this piece before we do some light sanding to get it all straight. Then we'll use a coat of black sandable primer (sand again if needed) and then a coat of black bumper paint. I assume its bumper paint because its got some flex to it (and it says its good for rubber/plastic bumpers.) Will let you know how it turns out - holler if you see something that we're clearly doing wrong above! Thanks, Tina and Yoel
