Bumper Damaged: Replace or Repair with Paint?
1 Answers
It needs to be replaced, but it also depends on the situation. Main reasons: If the front bumper is cracked, you can choose to repair or replace it based on the extent of the damage. If the cracked area is small, it can be welded and repaired. If it exceeds the repair standard, replacement is necessary. For metal bumpers, whether welding or repainting is required, professional tools and skilled techniques are essential. Typically, repairs need to be done at a 4S shop, as personal repairs may not meet the required standards. Introduction to bumpers: The car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle. The front and rear bumpers of a car are usually made of plastic, hence they are referred to as plastic bumpers. Generally, a car's plastic bumper consists of three parts: the outer panel, cushioning material, and crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed from cold-rolled thin steel sheets pressed into a U-shaped groove. The outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam.
