How To Repair Car Bumper Paint Damage

Why repair car bumper damage?

How to repair car bumper paint damage using a Chipex kit

Using a Chipex kit to repair paint chips and light scratches on your bumper is easier than you may think. Here is our step-by-step guide to doing so. Chipex designed this to be an easy process that can be done at home in a short time, so don't be put off repairing them yourself.
  1. Find your colour code using our handy paint code finder options, then order the right size kit you'll need.
  2. Clean the paint stone chips and surrounding area thoroughly. Make sure that you remove any sealant, wax or polish from the chip area. You can use a bit of the Blending Solution for this job.
  3. Put on the rubber gloves that come with the kit. These are actually used in the application of the paint.
  4. Shake the paint Step 1 Paint bottle well, and then use the supplied Chipex paint applicator brush® to dab the paint onto the chipped areas. If the car has suffered 'road rash' (lots of small paint stone chips in one area), put the paint onto a fingertip of the glove, and smear evenly across the road rash, making sure they are all filled. Note: drying time takes between 40 seconds and 5 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and amount of paint you've applied. 
  5.  Once the paint is dry to the touch, apply the supplied Step 2 Blending Solution to the paper cloth, and wipe across the painted areas with a light pressure - simply allowing the solution to do its job without any excess pressure. Allow a few minutes for the blending solution to dry before the next stage.
  6.  Take the Finishing Polish, apply a small amount to a soft microfibre cloth and rub gently across the painted areas. Allow this to dry and haze, and then remove the haze with a clean area of the cloth
