Bumper
All PP bumpers are provided with a grained surface, and if
the surface is damaged, it cannot normally be restored to

that cause only a change in the lustre of the base material
or coating, can be almost fully restored. Before repairing a
damaged area, explain this point to the customer and get
an understanding about the matter.
Repair methods are outlined below, based on a classifica-
tion of the extent of damage.

3. DEEP DAMAGE SUCH AS A BREAK OR HOLE
THAT REQUIRES FILLING
Much of the peripheral grained surface must be sacrificed
for repair, and the degree of restoration is not really worth
the expense. (The surface, however, will become almost
