    I hit a snowbank today
    and a piece about 1/2" by 1"
    of a paint chip fell out.

    This is the bumper, and it looks as though there is foam
    exposed.

    Anyone know a good way to seal and hide
    this?

    I dont want water to get in and
    start causing problems.

    thanks

    Kevin

    Aren't you going to just get it fixed? Properly? If not, then you can go
    as simple as just putting a piece of duct tape over the damage. Not
    elegant, but it will work for a while. If you've got foam exposed though,
    you've got more than just a paint chip. You've got a piece of the bumper
    cover chipped out. They can be repaired, but it's cheaper and easier to
    just get another bumper cover from the junk yard or from the automotive
    aftermarket. Bumper covers are typically under $200 new from the
    aftermarket. Much cheaper in the junkyard.
