Bumper Repair Southport
March 5, 2012 | 
Author Bumper Repair Southport
Cars these days have plastic. Bumpers. In fact they are really a bumper cover as the strong metal bar is hidden underneath.
Bumper scuffs, scrapes and scratches are very common and can be repaired in a few hours at your home or place of work.
A process of sanding out the scuffs, scratches and scrapes, filling deeper scratches, re-priming, repainting with the matching colour and finally re lacquering will return your bumper to match the original factory finish.
Bumpers can sometimes get cracked or split, more common when the weather is cold. Auto Body Fix can also repair this bumper damage. Plastic welding techniques are used to join the cracks and splits back together. Then the process above is followed again to return your bumper to its former, pre damaged state.

Wheel arch repair on a Ford KA
Lots of people do it. This Ford KA was caught on a gate post. As you can see on the photo the wheel arch has been scuffed. On this particular car the wheel arch is made of plastic. The area to be repaired is cleaned thoroughly to remove any dirt and silicones found in waxes and other valeting products as this can react and also prevent the new paint and lacquer adhering.
In this photo the damage has been sanded smooth using various grades of abrasive. Starting with the most coarse end ending in less coarse. The wheel is covered to protect it from dust and paint.
Here the area has been masked off ready for priming. Masking keeps the repair area smaller. Masking also prevents paint from going onto areas that we don't want it to go on. Known as overspray.
The area has now been primed and wet sanded to feather the edges and make the surface smooth ready to apply the colour.
The area has now been painted with the matching paint colour and the lacquer applied. The paint is dried using warm air from a heat gun and the lacquer is baked using infra red lamps. This bakes the lacquer from within to avoid a skin forming. The lacquer will be hard enough to polish in around 15 to 20 minutes.
All finished in around 3 hours. You would never know it had been damaged.
