Default Popping the bumper...

hey guys...the right corner of my rear bumper's been bumped in...i was wondering
if there'd be any way i can just pop it out without taking whole thing off, especially
since i have no idea how to do that...also after popping it i plan to repaint and smooth
it out...
it's about 5' outside...so if at all possible, should i do it in this weather?
plss lemme know!

seriously jus take it off my friend had that it looked really messed up but we took it off and i put my heal too it and anyother traces of the bump if u don't have stress cracks on paint u jus get a heat gun or if u don't have that use a hair dryer to heat it up not too hot but massage it back don't push in one spot push all round and sculp it back it takes patients but works very well

That always amazes me. No matter how shitfaced I am, I can always manage to find the backspace key. My grammar, and whatever I'm rambling on about may not make much sense, but I can spell.

Ok...to answer the original quetion...I once heard of a body shop that gets a deflated football, attaches it to a pump and sticks it up behind whatever panel has a ding in it and then inflates it. Sounds kind of far fetched but it might be worth a try b/c if you already have those things it would be potentially free.

this method is actually used except not with a deflated football "but I cant see why not", a heater/hair drier is used to make the plastic bumper playable but it still needs to be removed
