Radioguy front bumper

[190SETOURING]

Can anybody tell me what sort of plastic these bumpers are made out of, i would like to get mine painted but need to know what primer to use. Cheers.:bowdown:

The polymer coding stamped on the Roewe style bumper is PP+T20.
This means Polypropylene with an as yet unidentified additive.
It's certainly softer than the MGR Premium. I think those are ABS.
Numerous members have had these painted so I suspect the standard bumper primer is used. I've no idea what that is, but someone will.

I can say that the plastic used is very thin and very bendy, not rigid at all.
make sure a supple, flexible paint is used if it existes !

The 'T20' shows it is filled with 20% Talc, which will lower it's cost, but also make it more rigid than 'straight' polypropylene.

Use a universal plastic primer most paint companies sell one, then a good primer coat over it and a flat down.

Just use a flexible addative in the clearcoat and you will be fine!
