Refinish Repair Procedure
Since heat deformation of the cladding occurs more easily than bumpers repair and refinishing of these parts is not recommended. 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 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.
