Mobile Bumper Repair is Good Enough for Rolls Royce Owners

zyxamt.jpegBumper Time in San Diego demonstrates why it doesn’t matter what kind of vehicle you have, you’ll still save money without sacrificing quality.

As mobile bumper repair becomes more and more popular around the US and even around the world, it’s no question that this service saves time and money when performed correctly. From your daily driver to your high line exotic like the Rolls Royce Phantom, the results of a good repair is cost effective.

The process usually entails, resurfacing the area (sanding) to a smooth surface. Then applying primer, base coat and last but not least the clear coat for a factory shine again. In most cases, almost all mobile bumper repair companies guarantee their work. And a lot offer written lifetime warranties like Bumper Time. Bumper Time also promotes “guaranteed exact color match” even with 3 stage high metalic finishes and tri-coat paints such as pearl white.

Eventually though water base paint is coming and making the switch can be a costly one. Depending what water borne paint system  is chosen, it will vary in price. Glasurit and PPG seem to have the full line ready and soon to follow Standox, Sherwin Williams, Dupont.

In time, mobile bumper repair will be the first alternative to repairing a bumper. Unless you like taking your vehicle to a shop for 2-3 days and paying much more, then mobile bumper repair is a good alternative to consider.

Los Angeles Mobile Plastic Bumper Repair-ECO Friendly

SOS Bumper goes water borne for mobile plastic bumper repair in Los Angeles. This now environmental friendly paint system will help contribute support for the global warming awareness. Here’s is the rest of the story from another sister blog

Los Angeles – SOS Bumper is the first to set the trend for mobile waterborne paint repair. The word on the streets is all body shops and mobile bumper and paint techs will have to be compliant between 2009-2010.

SOS Bumper, which is actually a sub division of SOS Dent in Los Angeles, already purchased the Glasurit waterborne paint system.
David (Owner of SOS Bumper and Dent) says, “It’s been a real pain in the butt setting up the van because this is new territory for us.” He also mentions, “Most reps didn’t really know about the full reactions about the paint and the pros and con’s.” The pros, it lays on nicely and pretty much everything is the same. But.. the in between time for drying is not so great. For most body shops, it’s not such a big deal. The difference with waterborne and oil base paint is the dry time and the methods. Oil base uses lights, heat and UV lights to cure the paint. Waterborne uses forced air.

The problem with forced air is it might blow dust onto the fresh paint and trap debris if not in a controlled environment. “It’ll be a little challenging but we are eager to see how its going to be”, says David.

Waterborne paint seems to be the future. As a mobile auto reconditioning owner myself, in my opinion, I believe the auto paint industry will have later updates with new technology just for these reasons. Besides, they have a soon to be huge mobile market to cater to!
