Product Recommendation
I'm looking for some type of product to repair the bumper end caps on the 710. They originally were made out of some kind of foam and coated with a hard coating of some type. I need something that will stick to the foam where the hard coating has cracked off. It needs to be moldable, dry with a hard shell but still be somewhat pliable so it won't easily crack, and paintable. Bondo would likely crack and I'm not sure if it would stick to the foam. Any thoughts? I've heard about a product called FlexSeal but never used it.

Re: Product Recommendation
FlexSeal is that stuff they advertise on late-night TV... 
Just a thought, but I found new OEM bumper end caps for the B310 in Indonesia for like $25.
I'm not sure you'll find anything that will meet all those criteria AND blend perfectly with the existing shell...
I use a product called Flexane 94, but that might be more work than you're interested in.
If you're looking to do it on a budget, Bondo makes some fairly flexible products that you could smooth to suit, then spray with a bedliner product to get a uniform texture and color.

Re: Product Recommendation
You're right about FlexSeal. They carry it at my neighborhood ACE but I don't know its characteristics. Will head there this morning. Maybe there is a flex agent you can add to Bondo so it doesn't crack. I'll check sources offshore. Would obviously rather have the thinner JDM bumpers but those are probably unobtanium. Thanks for responding Greg.
