Default finished the bumper

As long as my clutch is messed up and my car isnt going anywhere, i figured now is a good time to fix my bumper up. It had a bunch of chunks missing and deep scratches, and while i was at it, i got rid of the eagle symbol and the bumper looks brand new. It looks like the last owner floored it out of his steep driveway every day.
i cant find any good photos of the before with the chunks missing, but heres the afters

for the big chunks that were missing i used fiberglass, then finished off with bondo, and filled in all the scratches with bondo.

And thats just primer. i might order a quart of factory color paint and paint it, but itll be slightly off color because...its an 11 year old car....or i might just leave it and just paint the rest of the car primer, and just prep the whole car for a full paint job.

not sure.
