How to Restore Peeling Bumpers

Your cars bumpers receive a lot of wear and tear, which can lead to unattractive paint peeling. You dont need extensive automotive experience to restore the smooth shine on a bumper. However, the new paint will bubble and crack if you dont apply it properly. Clean your car thoroughly first to remove any dirt and oil that will interfere with the inishing process.

Instructions

1

Sand the bumper with 60-grit sandpaper. Remove all of the chipping pieces of paint, leaving the bumper smooth. Wipe the bumper with the microfiber cloth to remove all of the debris.

2

Place a line of masking tape over the part of the bumper that is peeling. This prevents your patch efforts from reaching any other parts of the car or bumper that dont need treatment. Space the line of tape at least 1-inch from the farthest crack in the bumpers paint.

3

Put on the goggles and dusters mask to prevent damage to your eyes and lungs.

4

Spray the bumper with the primer. Allow the primer to dry before continuing. Sand the primer with 220-grit sandpaper to remove bumps and other distortions.

5

Apply another layer of primer and allow it to dry. Sand the primer with 600-grit sandpaper, giving it a highly smooth surface.

6

Clean the bumper with the microfiber cloth to remove the sand granules. This gives you the smoothest finish possible.

7

Spray the bare spot on the bumper with the automotive paint. Allow it to dry and apply another coat. Sand the layer with 600-grit sandpaper once it dries.

8

Wipe the bumper with the microfiber cloth to remove debris from the sanding. Apply a layer of clear coat to protect the paint. Allow it to dry and apply another layer until you have a solid, shiny finish.
