FRONT BUMPER

REPAIR

1. COATING METHOD FOR PP BUMPER







2. REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS FOR COLORED PP BUMPER

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

1. Minor damage causing only a change in the luster of the bumper due to a light touch Almost restorable.







2. Deep damage caused by scratching with fences etc.
A dent cannot be repaired but a whitened or swelled part can be removed.







3. Deep damage such as a break or hole that requires filling Much of the peripheral grained surface must be sacrificed for repair. The degree of restoration is not really worth the expense. (The surface, however, will become almost flush with adjacent areas.)
