Why Some Factory Bumpers Don’t Match – Mobile Bumper Repair

Facts On Bumper Color – Mobile Bumper / Scratch Paint Repair

This post is to inform the public why the factory original color of bumper and trim pieces may not match the rest of the vehicle from the start.

Causes of Color Variations:

#1 A color can vary depending on the substrate on which it is painted. For example, the evaporation rate for solvent varies over metal or plastic. A longer rate gives a flake pigment additional time to “float” and can darken the face of the color.

#2 The body was painted on a production line at the factory, while other parts, such as the bumper and trim were painted at another location using a different application method.

#3 Slight adjustments can be made during application creating a lighter or darker color, causing the metallics or mica elements to lay down differently.

#4 Light reflects differently on curved and flat surfaces causing the appearance of a color shift.

In conclusion, repainting a plastic bumper might have the same effects. Although mobile bumper repair in general matches paint back to factory specifications, it is possible on same repair cases, there would be a slight color shift. This commonly happens with paint colors such as; pearl white, silver and other 3 stage tri coats.

PDR Training Manual/Book Explains Process of Paintless Dent Repair with Lines

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unpM8Hbq0t0[/youtube]

Well, there is now finally a video about the line board manual for those who want to know more about it. The video gives a good summary of what to expect and you’ll be able to see how the layout looks as well. This is packaged very well in a wired book style binder with gloss pages. Something every tool company and product line should consider. From your common door ding removal to identifying crowns, you’ll see well organized pages that are thought out and designed.

Co-creator David Pelikan (SOSDENT.com) helped with the design layout and post production. Just as usual, Dent Time puts much effort on presentation. This manual is intended for those who want to get familiar with PDR and those who want to get familiar with the line board itself. The line board is intersting to most because it’s reflection are straight lines that cast a curvature across the dent or ding. Obviously if the lines are not straight, the dent is not gone. Pretty straight and forward but the training is not. As anticipated, the manual is not designed for technicians to learn right from the start. It’s merely a tool to help assist and develop better habits while learning the art of paintless dent removal.

You can purchase the line board and pdr manual at www.autolecture.com
