When my car got hit, it made a 4" inch long crease in my front bumper in the part of the plastic which forks upward towards the hood when you look at the car directly from standing in front of the car. The body shop fixed the crease by using some sort of heat repair and then filler/putty. The repair came out okay, but a little bit of the crease is still noticeable underneath the paint if you look at the bumper really close when you run your eyes across the area where the original crease used to be. You can still see a little bit of the original crease under the paint. It looks as if the original crease wasn't flattened out and taken out 100% when the body shop did the repair.
The location of the crease is in the right passenger part of the bumper where the bumper has a fork in it which forks upward towards the hood when you look at the bumper from standing directly in front of the car. That particular area is flat but it curves inward a little bit and then goes straight up towards the hood. There are 2 forks in the front bumper. I am talking about the fork which is on the passenger side of the bumper. The part which curves inward is where the crease used to be. It seems that when the body shop did the repairs, they weren't able to totally make the crease disappear because of the inward curve in the bumper. Do you think that this will pose as a problem? Will the crease show more as time goes by?
ALSO, do you think that a crease like this on the bumper is much harder to fix because it's located in a surface which is curved inwards? I think that if the surface of the bumper was flatter that I wouldn't be able to see any of the original crease that was made in the bumper.
What do you think. A body person's knowledge is needed here for this.
