Does the rear bumper need to be removed for touch-up painting?
1 Answers
Rear bumper painting generally requires removal before spraying for easier application. Both front and rear ends of a car are equipped with bumpers. Functions of bumpers: They not only serve decorative purposes but, more importantly, act as safety devices that absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the vehicle body and ensuring passenger safety. Materials of bumpers: Many years ago, automotive front and rear bumpers were primarily made of metal materials, using steel plates over 3mm thick pressed into U-shaped channels, surface-treated with chrome plating, and riveted or welded to the vehicle frame longitudinal beams. They had a significant gap from the car body, looking like an additional unattached component, which was quite unappealing. Nowadays, while maintaining their original protective functions, automotive front and rear bumpers also aim for harmony and unity with the vehicle's styling and pursue lightweight characteristics. Modern car bumpers are made of plastic.
