6. Repair Instructions for Colored PP Bumper
All PP bumpers are provided with a grained surface, and if the surface is damaged, it cannot normally be
restored to its former condition. Damage limited to shallow scratches that cause only a change in the lus-
tre of the base material or coating, can be almost fully restored. Before repairing a damaged area, explain
this point to the customer and obtain his or her understanding. Repair methods are outlined below, based
on a classification of the extent of damage.

C: DEEP DAMAGE SUCH AS A BREAK OR HOLE THAT REQUIRES FILLING
