If you’re in need of bumper paint repair, but you’re hesitant to try a mobile dent repair service, you can trust the experts at Bumper Buddies. In this blog, we’ll break down every step in the Bumper Buddies bumper paint repair process so you can be fully informed and have peace of mind.

Dent Removal or Bumper Crack Repair

The first step in the bumper paint repair process is to repair any body damage or dents. You can’t paint over any issues that have affected the shape or texture of your vehicle, so any dents, dings, and scratches will need to be fixed before the bumper paint repair process can begin.

Depending on the severity of your bumper damage, our technicians may need to use specialized heat tools to massage your bumper back to its original shape. In the cases of scratches or scrapes, we’ll use filler to replace the affected area and ensure your bumper is ready for repainting.

Pre-Paint Prep

Once the body has been adequately repaired, we’ll prepare it for the painting process. If your bumper didn’t require any dent removal or reshaping, this is the time during which we’ll thoroughly clean the bumper to remove any dirt, grime, or residue. We’ll also remove any remaining paint or polish in the affected area to ensure a smooth and even paint job.

Once the surface is clean and free of any debris, we’ll add body filler where necessary. We also then sand down the affected area to create a smooth surface for the paint primer.

Once the area is prepped, we’ll apply a layer of primer. This primer helps the paint adhere to the bumper, ensuring that your bumper paint repair will be of the highest quality and last as long as possible.

Paint Application

Once the primer has been applied and the prep is complete, it’s time to apply the paint. Before starting the paint application process, our technicians will ensure that the paint color is an exact match to the original color of your vehicle. This is achieved by using specialized computer color-matching technology using your vehicle’s VIN.

Once we’ve mixed a custom PPG paint color, we’ll then carefully apply the paint to the affected area in thin layers. By going slow and steady and applying the paint in many thin layers, we can successfully blend your new paint into your old paint job, creating a perfect, seamless appearance.

The Finishing Touches

After the painting process is complete, there are a few finishing touches to ensure that your bumper paint repair will be flawless and long-lasting. This includes applying a clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish. The technician will then inspect the entire area to ensure that everything looks seamless and your prior damage is completely undetectable.
