Step 8. Painting the weld area

There are many paint schemes that are suitable for use on plastic components. Check with the vehicle manufacturer for approved schemes.

Surface preparation prior to painting can be completed with fine grade abrasive paper followed by thorough cleaning essential for good paint adhesion. Cleaning agents should be compatible with the recommended paint scheme.

A repaired plastic component should be completely repainted to ensure invisibility of the repair.

The finished component should be as strong as the original and provide an unblemished cosmetic finish.
