Rubberized Bumpers / Motorcycle Gas Tanks

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 sand the area until smooth.
  • For deeper scratches, use spot putty and prime the area before painting.
  • For tears, we sell 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:
  • Spray primer on any unpainted or damaged surfaces. Wetsand the primer and make sure the surface is very smooth.
  • Now apply the basecoat. Let the basecoat dry and you can wetsand out any imperfections with 1000 grit sandpaper.
  • Once the basecoat has dried, spray the clearcoat. Polish the clearcoat with rubbing compound (cutting creme) after the clearcoat is dry to the touch.
• Additional Products:
  • 11.3 oz. SEM Adhesion Promoter for enhancing paint adhesion.
  • 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.

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.
