The problem with using a filler is that they are rubber & the filler is prone to cracking off.
I sanded them smooth, then laid down a couple coats of flexible primer followed by color & clearcoat from www.paintscratch.com.

Thanks for the responses guys. Just a FYI, I manage an auto body supply store. There are flexible products made for bumpers like Evercoat 411. It's a flexible polyester glazing putty.

I can put a thin coat on, then sand smooth, prime with a urethane primer, sand again then paint and clear.

I'll be shooting BASF Diamont base and using whatever clear I have left from my last job.

Then I'll start on the nose and fill in the license plate holes and repaint up front.

I've already done a little touch up around the left tail light and the color match with the Diamont is spot on.

Thanks again, and if I can answer any questions you might have about paint, feel free to PM me.
