Solution: The best thing to do is to first remove bumper so you can get
at it from behind, if you can get at it from behind you will not need to
remove bumper. Second thing to do is to put a heat lamp or heat gun all
over dented area, when the plastic gets hot you can push the dent out
carefully. Look for high spots and push them down, also push up any low
spots (I like to use the handle of a large screwdriver) then let bumper
cool down. Sometimes the bumper will not need paint, sometimes it will.
If it needs paint you sand down any high spots and fill any gouges rips
or low spots using a plastic repair product. Then sand level all repairs
and prep for paint.

end quote.

id like to add that prepping for paint means going to a place that
carries auto paint supplies and getting some "plastic primer" for the
bumper. im familiar with the PPG brand- its a transparent red liquid,
and needs to be sprayed before paint is applied.

if not? the paint WILL eventually peel off in sheets. if youve ever seen
a car with bumpers like that, its because whoever did the job didnt know
what they were doing. and i see cars on the road like that every day.
