Non-visible damage in the bumper
Sometimes, repairing your bumper may not be enough, especially after an accident. There may be some unseen damage underneath the bumper. The foam layer underneath your bumper helps absorb vibrations caused by an object’s impact or from road imperfections.
When there is a collision on your bumper, the foam layer may break into pieces or may push inside your vehicle. The foam layer should be inspected and replaced if broken.
Presence of scratch or paint damage
The severity of the scratches or paint damage may determine whether you should repair or get a replacement. If the extent of chipped paint or scratches is severe, replacing your bumper may be appropriate. With minor scratches, you may only have to sand down the bumper. However, there may be a need to fill up deep scratches to make the surface appear even. That’s not all. An automotive technician may also have to paint the bumper so it will match your truck’s color.
Resurfacing or evening out a damaged Chevrolet Duramax bumper may be recommended when the scratches are few. But it may be easier to replace and paint a new truck bumper if the scratches are deeper.
Repairing your bumper ensures safety
Your Chevrolet Duramax bumper absorbs any impact or force that occurs during a collision. Minor damages to your bumper may affect the absorbing capacity of the bumper and weaken its structural integrity.
The bumper bar that helps in directing a force or impact outward may be damaged, and when this happens, you and your passengers may be affected if you experience a high-impact collision.
Repairing your bumper helps to improve your Chevrolet Duramax resale value
When you put up your truck for sale with a damaged bumper, it may raise some red flags. The potential buyer may feel there may be other issues with your truck, which can affect the truck’s resale value.
