Repairing and Retexturing a Freightliner Bumper End Piece

Many heavy trucks have thermoplastic bumpers and side panels which can be repaired with Polyvance's plastic repair and refinishing products. Here we have the end piece of a Freightliner bumper, which is polypropylene and has an unpainted textured finish. The bumper is torn along a body line. This will be an easy repair with one of Polyvance's nitrogen plastic welders. We will retexture the bumper with our Flextex VT texturing material.
