How To Touch Up Specific Parts

Rubberized Bumper (or Non-Metal) Repair with a Spray Can

  • Surface Preparation:
    • If painting a rubberized bumper, ensure to use the SEM Adhesion Promoter for proper adhesion.
    • Sand the bumper to remove all scratches, apply primer, and smooth out with sanding.
    • For deeper scratches, use spot putty and prime the area before painting.
    • For tears, use a bumper repair kit. Dents in a bumper cover are typically caused by damage underneath. Once you repair this damage, the bumper will straighten out.
  • Spraying:
    • Apply 12 oz. Primer from a spray can to any unpainted or damaged surfaces.
    • Use 12 oz. basecoat spray can for color coverage; one can covers four square feet.
    • Finish with a 12 oz. clearcoat spray can for protection; covers similarly.
  • Additional Products:
    • 11.3 oz. SEM Adhesion Promoter for enhancing paint adhesion.
    • Rubbing compound for polishing the clearcoat.
    • Tack Rag for dust removal before painting.
    • Sandpaper pack for sanding surfaces.
    • Acrylic Lacquer Thinner for cleanup and excess paint removal.
    • Wax and Grease remover for pre-paint surface cleaning.

Bumper Repair or Non-Metal Paint Areas (Using Paint Pen or Brush Cap Bottle)

  • Paint Pen Repairs:
    • 1/2 oz. primer paint pen for priming any unpainted areas.
    • 1/2 oz. basecoat paint pen for color; includes tricoat options.
    • 1/2 oz. clearcoat paint pen for protective finish.
    • Use rubbing compound for final polishing of the clearcoat.
    • Acrylic Lacquer Thinner for maintaining the paint pen nib and removing paint.
    • Wax and Grease remover for cleaning the surface before painting.

Gas Tanks (Especially Motorcycles)

  • Special Requirements for touching up gas tanks:
    • Apply our basecoat as usual to the gas tank but follow with a special catalyzed clearcoat available on our site, essential for resisting gas spillage.
    • Avoid using regular clearcoat on gas tanks as it may not withstand gas spillage.
