Repairing cracks and chips: is it possible to restore the bumper without replacing it?
Plastic bumper Sunny FB15 made from polypropylene (PP) with added fiberglass, making it impact resistant but susceptible to cracks at low temperatures. If the damage is not critical (cracks up to 10 cm, chips without deformation), the bumper can be repaired without replacement. Let's look at proven methods:
1. Welding plastic
For deep cracks use soldering iron with plastic attachment or a hair dryer. Technology:
- 🔥 Warm up the edges of the crack with a hairdryer (temperature ~300°C).
- 🔥 Swim into the rift
polypropylene rod(sold in bumper repair stores). - 🔥 Sand the seam with sandpaper
P120→P400and cover with soil.
Cost of repairs in service: from 3,000 to 6,000 rubles depending on the length of the crack.
2. Fiberglass reinforcement
Suitable for through cracks or broken fragments. Work order:
- Clean the damaged area down to clean plastic.
- Paste on the wrong side
fiberglassimpregnated with epoxy resin. - After drying (24 hours), putty and paint.
Before repairing, warm up the bumper with a hair dryer - this will remove moisture from microcracks and improve the adhesion of materials.
⚠️ Attention: Do not use for bumper repairs Sunny FB15 regular superglue or epoxy without reinforcement - at sub-zero temperatures, such a seam will crack in 1-2 seasons.
Painting a bumper: technology and common mistakes
Rear bumper painting Nissan Sunny FB15 requires a special approach due to plastic texture and the need for precise color selection. Original paint code for most versions - KAD (Silver Metallic) or B54 (Dark Grey), but shades may vary depending on the year of manufacture. Let's look at the stages of painting:

| Degreasing | Antisilicone, lint-free cloth |
10 minutes |
| Primer | Primer for plastic (adhesive), spray gun |
1–2 hours |
| Painting | Auto enamel (color code), acrylic thinner |
24 hours |
| Varnishing | Two-component varnish, polishing paste |
48 hours |
Typical mistakes when painting:
- 🚫 Skip a stage primers for plastic — the paint will peel off after 3–6 months.
- 🚫Usage
nitro paintsinstead of acrylic - it destroys polypropylene. - 🚫 Painting at lower temperatures
+15°Cor humidity above 60% - leads to a matte coating.

62630-4M000) — over time they become tanned and do not fix the bumper. - 🔩 Parking sensor mounting brackets - often absent on used bumpers.
⚠️ Attention: If after installation the bumper does not fit tightly to the wing, check adjusting bolts on brackets (they allow you to move the bumper left/right by 5–7 mm). On versions with rear view camera Also check the fastening of the camera bracket - its play can be transmitted to the entire bumper.
How to check the fasteners without removing the bumper?
