Frequently Asked Questions

How does BumperMedic repair an injury?

In a typical repair, we'll begin by sanding the damaged area.  Next, BumperMedic applies light coats of primer and flexible polyester filler.  After primer and filler, we wet sand the injury, apply primer again, and then follow up with additional wet sanding.  After BumperMedic finds the perfect color match, a base coat is applied with an additional clear coat of glossy polyurethane.  BumperMedic is able to isolate and paint only the damaged area without unnecessarily removing it from the vehicle.  The repair is 100% guaranteed for as long as you own the car.

How does BumperMedic match the color?

Whether you bring your car into one of BumperMedic's operating rooms or have a visit from one of their mobile units, our trained surgeons/technicians can match your original color to perfection.  Every car has a code that references the specific colors used in the original paint.  BumperMedic has access to these codes and uses this information to accurately match the color of the new material. BumperMedic uses most of the same materials and chemicals used by body shops and dealers.  However, BumperMedic only uses PPG paint - which is the paint used by most car manufacturers.

How is the BumperMedic process better than a "bondo" repair?

"Bondo" is designed primarily for metal repairs and when used on plastic it can crack and peel.    BumperMedic's process involves application of a flexible polyester filler which is designed specifically for bumpers and plastic car parts and won't crack or peel over time.

How long has BumperMedic been in business?

BumperMedic has been successfully repairing bumpers and plastic car parts since 1990.  In more than a decade, we've completed over 15,000 individual repairs.
