What is bumper paint in aerosol?
Bumper paint in aerosol is a high-quality paint specifically designed for plastic bumpers and other plastic car parts. The unique thing about plastic paint for bumpers is that you don't need a separate primer. This is because most plastic paint spray cans already contain an adhesive primer incorporated into the paint. This allows the paint to adhere directly to substrates such as polycarbonate and polyester. This saves you time and ensures a durable finish.
Plastic spraying without primer
Plastic spraying without primer is done with special paint for plastics. Our spray cans with plastic paint can be used without primer on any type of plastic. Here you only need to clean the surface, degrease it and you can immediately start spraying the paint. In short, ideal for those who want to work quickly and efficiently while maintaining quality.
Note: Do you use another type of paint that is not specifically intended for plastics? Then you do need a plastic primer. This ensures that the paint will not peel or flake off.
What is the best way to spray a plastic car bumper?
Spraying a plastic car bumper requires proper preparation of the plastic. To best spray the plastic of the car bumper, follow the steps below for a tight end result:
- Clean the surface thoroughly with a silicone remover or degreaser.
- Lightly sand with a fine grit (e.g., P800) to improve adhesion.
- Again, make free of dust and grease.
- Shake the spray can well (at least 2 minutes).
- Spray in thin layers about 30-35 cm apart.
- Allow each coat to dry briefly before applying the next.
Tip: Spray three thin layers rather than one thick one. This way you avoid drips and get a tighter result.
Drying time of bumper paint sprays
The drying time depends on temperature, layer thickness and humidity. In general:
- Dust-dry after about 30 minutes
- Adhesive-free after 1 to 2 hours
- Fully cured after 24 hours
Always ensure a temperature of around 20°C and avoid humid areas. This ensures that the lacquer cures optimally and lasts a long time.
