isopon PBF/250 Plastic Bumper Filler 250 ml

Product Information

Apply your plastic filler, filling the damage so it’s standing proud of surface level. Let it harden. After use, turn the aerosol upside down to empty the nozzle valve to clean, so you can use it again if you need to. Hopefully, you won’t! PlastiGrip from ProXL is a fast-drying, clear adhesion promoter that will prepare the repaired surface perfectly for top coating within 10-30 minutes. Adding The Colour Coat

Cut a section of mesh to size and put it to one side. Make sure it will overlay the damaged area with good margins on all sides - 20-30mm should be sufficient. Apply a liberal amount of repair material to the damaged area so that you make the surface a little higher than surrounding bumper. Use a spreader like a squeegee to carefully smooth out the filler. Make sure to push the filler into any scratches to fill them right to the bottom. Cover with smoothing film if supplied and allow to dry and fully harden. Thoroughly clean the bumper inside and out. Any dirt or grease will stop the filler bonding properly and ruin the appearance of the repair. Allow to dry and wipe down with solvent wipes, which are usually included in the kit. ProTex Textures are also easily overcoated with ProXL PlastiColour topcoat paints, which we will come to shortly. Applying The Finishing Coat Here’s how to fix damage to a plastic bumper, right through to repairing the paintwork using colour-matched car paint. Fixing dents and gouges Tools

Repeat the same for the car paint. Let it dry for 15 minutes before applying a second coat if necessary. Either vertically or horizontally, apply the primer in smooth cross coats 250mm distance from the repair. Sand the repair area level, first with 80 grit sandpaper and then with a fine grain sandpaper to smooth it out. If needed, apply another light layer of filler over any gaps or dips to restore the original contours. Once hardened, finish the sanding with wet fine grit sandpaper for a really smooth finish and wipe away any dust. Remove the masking tape and sand down the damage at the front to make the area a little low and create a rough surface for bonding. Apply bonding liquid if supplied.
