LKQ’s reconditioning process and professionally trained technicians bring these original equipment parts back to like-new quality, guaranteeing you a cost-effective repair, every time.

Bumper Reconditioning Process

A repair technician performs a complete repair process, following the bumper through the entire process to its final primer coat.

  • Thermal Reforming: High temperature soak tanks chemically clean the bumpers and return them to their original molded shapes.
  • Preparation: Bumpers are then stripped from the clear coat or any non flexible paint to ensure that all primers and paints will adhere properly.
  • Plastic Welding: Double-sided airless plastic welding is performed after any tears in the bumper are stabilized with a specialized tape.
  • Sanding and Filling: Once the structural repairs are completed, a flexible epoxy is applied to create a level surface. The bumper is sanded with progressively finer grits until a smooth, scratch-free surface is achieved.
  • Final Primer: The technician performs one last detailed inspection of the bumper cover after a final sanding and application of black or grey coating which serves as a primer coat for color bumpers or as a finished coat for black bumpers.
