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:

I used this stuff and it works pretty good.

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

aaah man black!, my car is light blue that wont be obvious. Well does it do a good job with the crack. if it was painted can you still see that the car was cracked?
