REPAIR PROCEDURE:
Factory painted cladding sub-assemblies are available from Lexus parts supply. If original parts are to be refinished, observe the following precautions during the refinish/drying process:
1. To prevent cladding warpage, firmly hold the cladding in place and keep drying temperature below 50°C (122°F).
2. Since the cladding, wheel opening extensions and bumpers are made of a flexible plastic urethane material, use a 2-part urethane finish paint system with plasticizer for all bumper/cladding repairs.
