Bumper: Service and Repair

All PP bumpers are provided with a grained surface, and if the surface is damaged, it cannot normally be restored to its former condition. Damage limited to shallow scratches that cause only a change in the lustre of the base material or coating, can be almost fully restored. Before repairing a damaged area, explain this point to the customer and get an understanding about the matter. Repair methods are outlined below, based on a classification of the extent of damage.





MINOR DAMAGE CAUSING ONLY A CHANGE IN THE LUSTRE OF THE BUMPER DUE TO A LIGHT TOUCH
Almost restorable.




DEEP DAMAGE CAUSED BY SCRATCHING FENCES, ETC.
A dent cannot be repaired but a whitened or swelled part can be removed.

DEEP DAMAGE SUCH AS A BREAK OR HOLE THAT REQUIRES FILLING
Much of the peripheral grained surface must be sacrificed for repair, and the degree of restoration is not really worth the expense. (The surface, however, will become almost flush with adjacent areas.)
