PLASTIC BUMPER REPAIR

There are many common misconceptions about the front and rear bumpers of your vehicle.

The majority of vehicles on the road have plastic/rubber bumper covers. This is the painted area that you see. The actual structural impact re-enforcement is a steel or aluminum “rebar” that is mounted behind the pretty plastic.

Bumper repairs are the most common operation in an auto body shop as this is the most common area to be damaged in a collision. When a plastic bumper cover gets dented or torn there are many economical ways to safely and seamlessly repair these parts.

To repair a dented plastic bumper cover the process is simple. The part is removed from the vehicle and all reflectors, lights, mouldings etc are removed from the bumper. The paint on the damaged area is then stripped off using a pneumatic sander. Then the dented area is heated up using a high powered heat gun enabling the technician to reshape the bumper to its original form. To ensure the area is completely smooth and straight a thin layer of flexible finishing putty is then applied and sanded. Once sanded the damaged area is sprayed with a high quality primer, prepped and painted. For torn bumpers we have a special 2 part adhesive which is basically liquid plastic. Once the paint on the damaged area is sanded off the 2 part adhesive is mixed using a special applicator. Once the product is applied to the torn pieces and held together it dries within minutes creating a virtually indestructible bond.

To be 100 % sure that the tear is re-bonded we adhere specialized reinforcements on the inside of the bumper with the same product. The finishing process is then carried out the same as dent repair.
