The bumper is one of the most easily damaged parts. It is easily damaged even by a small collision with an obstacle, thereby protecting the body from more serious damage. Fortunately, repairing a bumper is much cheaper than buying a new one. Purchasing a new part can be associated with certain difficulties, especially if the car has already been discontinued.
Thanks to modern technology, you can repair almost any damage to the bumper
Scratches are considered the slightest defect. If they are not deep and the paint is not damaged, then they can be dealt with using ordinary polishing paste. If the depth of the defect reaches the plastic layer, then the scratch will have to be sanded down to a smooth state. The treated area is primed, and the bumper is painted. Despite the fact that scratches at first glance seem harmless, you should not delay their elimination, as over time they can turn into cracks.
The second type of damage is a dent. This term refers to a change in the geometry of the bumper under strong mechanical impact. A dent can be simple or complicated. With a simple dent, there are no cracks or chips, but only a dent. It can be straightened by heating the damaged area with a building hair dryer. The softened plastic is carefully squeezed out from the back side until it takes its original shape. The procedure can be carried out with or without removing the bumper from the car.
Cracks are considered the most serious defect. They are through breaks in the bumper formed during a collision with an obstacle. Cracks can be both independent and associated with chips. Repairing cracks is more difficult, however, it should be done immediately, since vibrations that occur when driving a car provoke the crack to grow, which can lead to the bumper becoming unrepairable.
Methods for repairing cracks vary. Depending on the material the bumper is made of and the extent of the damage, a heat gun, liquid polymer or fiberglass can be used. If the destruction is very large-scale, reinforcement can be used.
It is very important to choose the right repair method, since the strength of the bumper in the future depends on it. This type of repair should be entrusted only to professional craftsmen, for example, to the craftsmen of the WEBER-AUTO car service
