POLYURETHANE REPAIR
DESCRIPTION
The endura bumper material will withstand minor impact
and the resultant damage such as occurs in parking lots
by recovering its original shape. The paint film responds
to impact in a similar manner without cracking or split-
ting. If, however, an area of damage in the bumper does
not recover its shape, or the surface is gouged, a repair
system has been developed to restore the original shape
and appearance of the endura base material.
