There are different ways you can do carbumper repair. Deciding the best approach should be your first step in
fixing your bumper. Dented, cracked, scratched and punctured bumper can be
unsightly and unsafe. These are ugly things that happen to your bumper. When
your bumper gets damaged, here are your options.
Repair
the scratch
Car scratches happen but shallow scratches that don’t
go the way through the car paint are easy to fix with buffing. This applies to
shallow scratches too and not just the bumper covers. Any detailing centre or
auto body shop can buff out bumper scratches for you. This works well and the
cost can range from fifty dollars to two hundred dollars.You can also do it
yourself using an electric car polisher along with a fine grade of auto
polishing compound.
Replace
the bumper cover
You can decide to replace the bumper cover rather than
do mobile
car bumper repair. If you’ve got a puncture or crack in your bumper
that is a few inches long then you’ll need to replace it. The damaged cover
comes off by releasing the hidden clips and fasteners around the fenders and
all the neighbouring parts. After removing the cover, snap on a new cover.
Patch
the bumper cover
Bumper covers are typically made of semi-flexible
plastic but you can still paint and buff dings and dents the same way you do
with other steel parts. Patching your bumper can save you a lot of money. There
are two things to keep in mind when you decide to patch your bumper.
First, you shouldn’t damage the underlying metal
bumper when doing car bumper repair. If the damage is small, patching with
conventional auto-body compounds will do fine. Second, the bumper cover should
be stabilized before being patched and made to look newer.
