Default What filler is used when filling holes and smoothing Camaro front Bumper Cover????

Thinking of not just taking care of some paint chips on my front bumper cover, but also filling the grille holes and filling in the letters for a smoother look with no grille.

Is there a special filler to use that is designed for use on plastic????

I also need to take care of some spider cracking on the paint on my rear bumper cover. Can I just sand down the area of the cracking and build it back up with primer then scuff the whole cover prime again, then paint???? Or, should I be stripping the whole cover down to plastic? Seems I've read of several ways to do it, curious.........

Sorry for the two questions in one, but I kinda felt they might be similar since both are bumper cover oriented.

Thanks for any help/input I really appreciate it.........

For filling the letters on the urethane use 3M part 8237 semi-rigid repair. make sure everywhere you put it is scuffed up and it'll last forever.

It'll work for the grill holes too. Just put a piece of tape on the hole from the backside to hold the junk in place until it hardens. Don't use the stuff unless it's at least 65 degrees out either.
