I know that I have tried quite a few solvents and cleaners and =
nothing seems to dent it. I have tried to find an adhesive for the =
fender inserts too and nothing seems to work on that plastic either. =
Must be the same material.
Still don't know which one it is, PP TPO or RIM.

im fairly certain our bumpers are *not* the easily bonding type. they =
require special primer in the least. as far as the grinder thing, the =
plastic will ball. as far as the laquer thing, my (guess) is that laquer =
thinner will not mess with it.

I received a response from SEM tech support regarding adhesives, =
paint and fillers. If the plastic could be identified they could =
recommend the best products for our bumpers . Does anyone know what =
type of plastic our bumpers are made of? PP, PTO or RIM?
Here is what tech support said to look for:
"You should be able to find a stamping on the back side like PP, =
TPO or RIM. If you can not find a stamping there are two ways to =
identify the plastic. First you can apply a drop of lacquer thinner to =
an inconspicuous area on the raw plastic and see if it softens the =
plastic, or if it does nothing. Or use a grinder with a 24 grit disk =
were you will be bonding and see if the plastic balls up or powders. =
If the plastic powders when you grind it and lacquer thinner softens =
it, there will be no problem bonding it. You can use our new product =
39747"
If we can identify the plastic they can recommend the best =
paint, fillers and adhesives!
