Depending on what's wrong with yours the restoration process is not that hard, you can manipulate the shape with heat, repair tears and rips with mesh and a soldering iron, a bumper reconditioner will only be doing the same thing but charging you for the convenience.
Its just a matter of making sure that the bumper is prepped right, you use the right adhesion primer and flexible filler for any damaged areas, apart from that spraying the texture coat with a varying air pressure will give you different finishes from a lumpy texture with low pressure to a smooth finish with a higher pressure. https://www.3m.com.au/3M/en_AU/colli...er-repair-sop/ https://www.bodyshoppaintsuppliesbay...-texture-coat/ |

If it's Sno White it's not factory and has been painted anyway so you might as well just get a panel shop to do it.

The black has been painted before, structurally it’s fine but it needs re-doing. In Snow White I mean, that’s the lower and is the cars body colour. |
