1. פּראָדוקט איבערview

The Polyvance Bumper & Cladding Color Coat (Model 3701-4) is an advanced, low-VOC, solvent-based coating specifically formulated to permanently recolor molded-in-color textured TPO and polypropylene plastic components. This includes bumpers, side cladding, and trim found on various vehicles.

Unlike temporary silicone-based products, this color coat adheres strongly to the plastic surface, providing a durable and lasting finish that resists fading, marring, and staining. It is designed for direct application without the need for adhesion promoters or extensive sanding on compatible plastic types.
