patching an elastomeric bumper?

[FY1Cuda]

Any ideas on how to patch up a gash and a crack in the rubber coating on an elastomeric bumper?  We have one that is banged up and would like to try to fix it but don't know of any materials available for the job.  The auto paint store we go to doesn't know either.  Any thoughts would be appreciated; any hard facts would be more appreciated. Thanks,

Try a different store as there are plenty of repair materials available for flexible plastics.

Here's a couple ideas:

Hope there's something in there.

Since, I've never handled a real elastomeric bumper, what were they made out of?  Was it really rubber?   

Otherwise would something like this work?

Thanks for the input.  Travis, the elastomeric bumper is a regular steel one with about a quarter inch of black foam (urethane?) over it.  A lot of the info I've looked at is all about patching tears on modern plastic bumpers, and since they are made from a bunch of different plastics, there are patching compounds that are designed for all of the particular kinds.  PistolGripper posted a link from WeldGuru, and one of the products shown is a compound that can be sprayed on (with a spray gun) and it forms a flexible, smooth plastic skin over the bumper.  This looks like something that would be useful for the last step--once you've gotten it to the right shape and filled the holes.  I haven't read everything on the website but I don't think I've seen anything like bondo that can be used to level the surface.  I'll keep investigating.
