Anyone know what I could use to fill in the PATRIOT embedded in the rear bumper. I have already debadged my Jeep, and am looking to eliminate all Jeep/ Patriot emblems on the exterior of my Pat. I know that might sound crazy to a lot of yall, but lets get real, anyone who knows cars knows the grille screams Jeep.

various materials out there
bondo/Fusor/3M all have plastic filler products,
make sure its the right one,
some are meant just as skim coats and not fillers,
many will shrink and crack when dry,
then matter of sanding and painting,
getting a surface like that smooth enough not to show any lines will take a skilled hand at the sanding

Well I hope to eventually make a rear bumper for my Pat, so I don't really want to invest too much money into changing the current bumper. The Pat's resale value sucks, so it's really my play-toy. Whatever I think would look good, I go for.
But thanks guys, I will check out some fillers

plastic filler is made to flex as the plastic is its replacing does,
different fillers for different plastics/uses.
cant find the right one off the shelf at autozone/pepboys,
biggest problem i see is it sticking to the painted plastic,
fillers generally require specific prepping for good adhesion
also when using alot of filler, do have shrinkage

That's all true... Do you think she could apply a little at a time over the period of a few days? To minimize the shrinkage problem?

wouldnt recomend multiple layers,
personally would overfill to compensate for any shrinkage, and sand off the excess.
