Default Cracked Bumper

Ok so i was forced off the road by a truck, and i hit a low curb. It cracked my bumper on the side just under where the plastic meets the metal. I was just wondering if I could fix that with something, without having to buy a completely new bumper?

How big is the crack, and is it easily visible?

You could try this:
Bondo BUmper Repair Kit

I used this stuff and it works pretty good.

It dries black - so you would probably want to paint it.
