Putty the Fool

I rear ended a GMC Envoy this evening.
I was careless.
Thank God no one was hurt.
The GMC got a little dent in its bumper.
My bumper got a hole, a 4" crack, deep scratches and it's bent.
There now is a 1/2" gap about 15" long between the headlight and the bumper.
I would like to sand, putty, and paint the hole, scratches, and the gap.
What brand or type of putty works well?
Thank you.

Its not that hard, but there is more to it than slapping putty around. Go to a library or parts store, get a body work book and read a chapter about bondo body work. You'll at least stand a good chance of getting it right.

I think you may need more than a bit of bondo and paint.
