The first thing they said to do is sand or scuff the area of focus with 100 grit sandpaper of any brand.

The sandpaper is normally less than $10.

After sanding, you'll need metal reinforcement, the video said.

For this, they simply had a scrap piece of metal mesh.

Screen text on the clip said: "Plastic JB weld the back over the metal reinforcement sheets."

They then added Bondo metal filler.

Small containers of the product are sold by retailers like Amazon and AutoZone for around $11.

"Sand with 180 grit then 600 grit before paint," screen text the auto expert added.

They let viewers know to clean the surface.

From there, their video showed Dupli-Color brand prep spray and a can of acrylic enamel.

"Paint [and] prime gloss back," they instructed with screen text.

"Good as new."

In most cases, the average cost would be around $500 to get a bumper repainted alone, according to Elmer's Auto Body.
