What quality work you do! Very impressed. I'm so glad to have seen this video. Now i know how to repair my Yaris plastic bumper. What does it mean to 'allow the Plastic Magic to flash for 10 mins'? Dry off? I'm assuming it gives a better grip for the paint. Is it also a cleaner?
@Lass-in Angeles "Flash off" means the time it takes for the solvents to evaporate. Plastic Magic is an adhesion promoter, not a cleaner. It helps paint stick to the plastic. We used our Super Prep plastic cleaner in this video (the aerosol is part number 1000-A).
Hello, The rear bumper of my car (Toyota c-hr) which is black matte plastic got a few scratches and very minor damage. One painting workshop believes that it can be painted, but another painting workshop believes that it is not a good idea to paint the plastic bumper because it can peel off over time and when washing the car, and he believed that the best solution is to replace the damaged part with a new. Who is right in this case? Can a bumper be painted nicely without any problems over time, or is it true that the color/paint can peel over time? Thanks.
It will peel only if the surface wasn't prepped for paint correctly. Some shops just don't want to educate themselves on the best practices for doing repair like this and would rather just replace parts. As long as the area to be painted is properly cleaned with 1001-4 Eco Prep or 1000 Super Prep plastic cleaner, scuffed, and sprayed with 1050 Plastic Magic Adhesion Promoter or Bumper and Cladding Coat Adhesion Primer before spraying the texture paint or topcoat, it will adhere as well as the paint that came on your bumper from the factory. (sorry for the run-on sentence.)
Hmm seems to me it would be cheaper to replace the bumper cover. Lots of man hours and expensive product used to make these repairs doesn't seem cost affective to me.
Like any other bumper, the price of a replacement textured bumper can vary greatly. The price could be anywhere between roughly $100-$600. So having the bumper repaired instead of replaced may absolutely be well worth it! Also, you have to watch out for cheaper, aftermarket bumpers...with those, you may run into fitment issues or paint matching issues. You would have to spend time and money having those fixed anyway. Regarding the time investment: it may take a few hours to have the bumper repaired and put back onto your car. However, if you order a replacement bumper, you have to spend time ordering it and trying to find a match, you have to wait until it comes in, and then put it back on the car. So, you will definitely have your car fixed faster if you have it repaired.
@@polyvance I know some people who live from rebuilding cars. I imagine how much this type of detailing work may interest them, since older vehicles, rare ones, pieces may be a lot more expensive and rare to find. Also impressing work
Wow. Is there a skilled shop that would do such a quality work near San Francisco? I have a Miata and I want to remove the scratches, it's all textured plastic. How much does a job like this go for the interiors?
@@lass-inangeles7564 well you also assume everyone has the skill to disassemble the parts, own a paint booth, air compressor, not everyone has a garage or even the time
im going to restore a few old bike plastic seats, this is the first time im doing this.. i will use this method to get the textured areas right... any tips how i can fix a crack? i was thinking about smothing like epoxy or mold???
Dave. Send some photos of the seats and the damage you want to repair to info@polyvance.com. If you will, also look for some identification marks on the seats as to what plastic they are so the proper repair method can be recommended.
No. The texture on a bumper from the factory is machined into the mold used to make the bumper. This is also why most textures are impossible to perfectly duplicate and why its most often easiest to retexture the entire bumper, rather than try to blend the new texture with the original.
@@scottb7600 I've seen those molding kits that copy the original texture which work fairly well. Over the years i spent lots of money replacing damaged trim but i've learnt to live with it.
@@jaggass The molding kits don't really work all that well. You can get a good look where the texture from the mold isn't blended with the original texture, but in the area where they overlap, the texture looks terrible and you will always have a ring of bad texture around your repair just because there is no way to line up the "pattern" of the old with the new.
Its polypropylene not polyester and yes, a mask should be worn, but its the paint dust that is far more hazardous than the plastic dust. When sanded, plastic makes larger particles that don't tend to float in the air like fine paint dust particles and filler dust particles. Still, You are definitely correct in that a mask should be worn for ALL sanding operations.

I used to do auto spot repairs for a living....a long time ago. I wanted to refresh the ol' grey cells and I found this video priceless. Many thanks.
Thanks for watching! Glad we could help!
Awesome work!!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you, amazing job looks brand new
Thanks for watching!
O Brasil precisa de produtos de qualidade assim ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just fog the paint on. But this is obviously above and beyond quality work.
Thank you very much!
Great product. Any chance of a video demonstrating the recreation of the "inverted" type texture found 60's and 70's classic cars? Thanks.
Unfortunately the only texture a spray on texture can do is a pebble grain.
Wow, just the textured appearance I was searching for but for a different application. Not feasible for me though as I am a simple DIY'er.
What the heck does that mean - a 'simple DIYer'? Get going dude! See. Learn. Do!

Do it yourself, lazy bones! Painting is technical but not rocket science.

@@scottb7600 It's a hard one and sometimes new trim is an option if it bothers people that much.
Too good.....

Can you send me a link of the bumper and padding coat color sheet please, very useful
Hi Mark. We actually discontinued the different Bumper and Cladding Color Coat colors a while back. We now only carry it in black.
Can I use that in fiberglass ??
Yes! Just sand it first.
Haha all the body shops in my area wanted me to buy a new bumper
That's pretty typical. Most have never been trained to repair textured parts. Those that have been trained have no shortage of work however!
My friend, too many strange products,i live in Romania and i never heard about them.
Sorry. We are in the United States, and many of our products cannot be shipped overseas. This is likely why you have never heard of them.
Rustoleum satin black you'll never go back.
It won't fix the texture problem and you would also need to use an adhesion promoter before spraying it on raw PP bumpers.
I really think for a second this is blender texture tutorial lmaoooo
I didn't see you using a dust mask while sanding. Polyester dust is toxic!
Its polypropylene not polyester and yes, a mask should be worn, but its the paint dust that is far more hazardous than the plastic dust. When sanded, plastic makes larger particles that don't tend to float in the air like fine paint dust particles and filler dust particles.
