Putty for car bumper - which one is better to choose

It is acceptable to apply on wooden and steel surfaces, old car paintwork, hard plastics. MOTIP is a one-component compound that does not require leveling with a spatula. Prior to application, the surface must be thoroughly sanded and degreased for a high degree of adhesion and durability of the coating.

Car bumper putty is intended for restoring the part. It masks scratches, dents, cracks and chips in the paintwork. You need to select a putty based on certain criteria:

• High elasticity.
• Good adhesion to any polymer surface.
• Strength.
• Possibility of manual polishing.

It is better to putty the plastic bumper of a car with a two-component composition of fine-grained consistency. The mass is applied to the repaired surface and leveled with a spatula. The main components of such putty are resins, fillers and pigments. To polymerize the superimposed layer of mass, a hardener is used.

How to choose

To choose the right putty for a car bumper, you need to determine the method of its future application. For plastic parts:

• Finishing mixtures. They give a dense, non-porous coating that lends itself well to grinding.
• Universal compositions. They have a filler of medium size fraction. The surface is porous, but polished to a perfectly smooth.

Putties have a different chemical composition (polyester, acrylic and epoxy mixtures, nitro putties). The price depends on the type of mixture and brand. Before you buy a product to repair your car, you need to clarify the characteristics and nuances of applying the mass.

Putty is applied easily and evenly, filling voids and leveling the surface of the bumper. The composition withstands heavy loads: both thermal and mechanical. Before filling the surface, it is necessary to remove the gloss from it with a grinder or waterproof paper with an abrasive effect. After abrasive treatment of the part, oil contamination must be removed with an anti-silicone. Before application, a hardener (2%) is added to the mixture.

Apply the putty with a rubber or metal spatula, carefully leveling the layers. After that, the surface can be painted, but it must first be primed with a special acrylic composition. When masking deep defects, putty should be applied in layers no thicker than 2 mm. Dry each layer for at least 20 minutes.
