You
should do Sydneybumper repairs immediately you notice damage on your
bumper. Fibreglass bumpers are safety devices that protect the car from damage.
They do this by absorbing impacts and shocks so it may be necessary to repair
your car bumpers once in a while. The repair process is straightforward and
repairing your bumper at home can help you save a lot of money.
Remove the bumper
If
you are removing the front bumper, you should disable the airbag. Remove any
nuts, screws and clips that hold the bumper in place. Slide the fibreglass
bumper off the car.
Cleaning the bumper
Before
repairing the bumperin Australia, it is essential to clean it
first. Grind down the raised surface of the bumper along large cracks. Sand
down the raised surface of the bumper along small cracks. Use acetone to scrub
the fibreglass surface.
Fixing the bumper
When
doing bumper repairs Sydney in Australia, you should buy hardener,
resin, and cloth matting strips. Cut the matting of the fibreglass to the size
of each cracked area. Mix the hardener and resin together. Use the resin mix to
apply the matting to your bumper.
Final touches
Once
the fibreglass is fully cured, you will need to sand down the fixed areas of
the bumper using 600 grit dry and wet sandpaper. This should be done on both
sides of the bumper until the patches of the fibreglass are smooth to touch. Do
not use a handheld grinder to avoid breaking the new seals.
Cover
the fixed areas with a filler if necessary. Sand down the entire fibreglass
bumper. After finishing Sydney bumper repairs in Australia,
you can repaint the bumper if you want. Reattach the bumper by sliding it onto
your car. Replace bumper fasteners and tighten them. If necessary, reconnect
the airbag and you will be through with your repair.
