Was in an accident repair help!

I Was in a fender bender a few weeks ago and insurance company gave me 2k to fix my car needless to say it doesnt need 2k worth. That being said i have the smittybilt XRC front bumper and the height of my card and solid steal skid plate took the beating but mainly just paint scrapes like if you hit a rock. I am not familiar with the paint used on these bumpers and would like to cover it up any thoughts? Was thinking of using bedliner to roll over it and the scrapes to keep it from rusting. I also lost a fog light, not a big deal but you have to buy them in pairs so any thoughts on what i should replace them with I have warn wireless on the windshield but wouldnt need wireless on the bumper.

Thanks for the help.

+1 for aftermarket bumpers. I have a huge rampage products rear bumper on mine and I got rear ended... All I needed to fix my car was a rattle can... The Honda civic was totaled. Everyone was absolutely fine

Ya everyone was fine is the textured paint on all these bumpers just like rhino liner can or no. What should I use

Id just use black spray paint , maybe the bedliner spay either way its gonna be black but might have a different shade of black

Damn dude. You should name your Jeep "Ron Jeremy" after that tail pounding.



As for paint, if it's crickle finish they do sell it. Wait until spring unless you have a heated garage.Won't work in the cold.

It looks like the Jeep won that battle. The car should have moved for you when they saw you in their rear view mirror. Yes I think you need to nick name your Jeep "Ron Jeremy" or "Mad max"

For the Paint you can take it to a body shop and dunk it in stripper. have them do a light sanding over the whole thing and Re-prime and paint it. Chicks dig scars so you could just leave it.

Reminds me of a little Mazda 6 that cut into my lane. My left rim was all scratched up by his entire right side was jacked. My claim check is coming in courtesy of his insurance company :)
