Are Plastic Bumpers Repairable?
Whether they are comprised of rigid plastic or semi-rigid plastic, professionals have the skills and precision to repair bumpers. A plastic bumper repair can be reliably carried out whether it’s a thermoplastic or thermoset bumper as well depending on the vehicle. Before they are injected into a plastic mold that forms the vehicle’s bumper, thermoplastics are created by melting many small plastic pellets. Resulting in a freshly manufactured bumper, the bumper is then released from the mold after the mold is cooled. Because thermoplastics are so flexible and it is easy to reuse and recycle, and cost-effective, most plastic bumper covers tend to be thermoplastic. By injecting two different polymer materials together, the bumpers derived of semi-rigid, or thermoset plastics where the crosslinking is permanent with both molds. The semi-rigid, or thermoset plastic bumper are typically more durable, though it does require formal training to properly repair.
Professional VS Do It Yourself Bumper Repair
It is in your better interest to let a professional take care of the services for those who want to repair their bumpers, though there are kits and “how to” guides readily available. Expertise and the proper tools are essential to make sure the repairs are done correctly. The bumper repair will not be done with efficiency and quality, investing in the tools, paint, and other products needed is more expensive than you might think, and without formal training on the process.
Check Bumper After a Rear End Collision or Other Car Accident
If there is even a small chance damage was inflicted on the bumper as they play a critical role for your vehicle, it is so important to have your bumpers checked after a minor accident. Should the bumper have a major dent and/or is hanging off the car, it is simple to know that it needs to be fixed. Especially if there is not any visible damage, you still need to have your bumpers checked out to make sure its integrity is intact, as well. In the event the damaged bumper has become misaligned, a bolt sheared, or something else seemingly minor occurred, you could have catastrophic or fatal consequences if you have another accident.
