Unpainted plastic black bumpers – what is the best material?
Good morning. I normally stay away from putting vinyl on Iarge painted plastic bumpers on lorries.
Now I’ve been asked about fitting to these some chevrons of some discription. Would anyone recommend ( if at all) process and materials to use to get a good and lasting stay on this idea? Thank you in advance for your advice and experiences.

is that a film as in vinyl or film as in spray on primer Ian?
Give Gill Harrison at Wm Smiths a call regarding this, I was speaking to her recently and "i think" Arlon do something with an adhesive system that will stick to this type of surface.
otherwise i would say definitely no, stay clear of trying to wrap or apply to this type of surface.

It’s a primer Vinyl Film, Very good, wrap it on first then over wrap with your final colour

would laminating the wrap film onto the primer film, then applying it combined not be an option?
-
possibly, but i think the primer needs to go on, unstressed by itself first before over wraping if you know what i mean, it would be similar to using an a calendered laminate on a cast wrap,
by applying seperately the different tensions created don’t affect each other.
I no expert but that’s how it was explained to me 😀
you should get some and do a test for your courses, it’s very good for bump strips etc. -
